I had cleft lift off midline surgery for pilonidal sinus with Dr Carapeti in July. I have to say having read online about the open procedure, the typical procedure for pilonidal sinus (and being advised by 2 NHS doctors that this was the best approach), i was pretty terrified of the recovery phase/ risk of recurrence. Some people were talking about 6 months off work - an NHS doctor told me someone's open wound hadn't fully healed after 18 months. I did my research and found Dr Carapeti - he was very helpful, explained everything in the run up, and the surgery went great. I had 2 weeks off work but not much pain, no packing of wound required, and within 2 weeks i was running and exercising. Within 6 weeks, i've just played my first game of football. I could not be happier with this - please do your research!
