In some cases, the tailbone can cause persistent pain and discomfort that may affect your daily life. Surgery is performed to remove the tailbone and relieve these symptoms.
During the procedure, you will lie on your stomach. An incision is made along the tailbone, which is then separated from the sacrum and removed. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia by experienced surgeons who prioritize safe and comfortable care.
The purpose of the surgery is to relieve the pain and discomfort caused by the tailbone.
Most patients will experience a gradual improvement after surgery. The percentage of patients whose pain disappears is 80–85%.
Discomfort caused by the coccyx can lead to pain that may require treatment. When the discomfort is severe, surgery may be necessary to remove the coccyx and thereby relieve the symptoms.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, you will lie on your stomach, and through an incision along the tailbone, it will be detached from the sacrum, after which the tailbone will be removed.
If you feel unwell—for example, if you have a fever or an infection leading up to your surgery—or if you have sores, cuts, or inflammation in the surgical area, you should contact the hospital as soon as possible.
Our skilled medical secretaries are ready to help you.
