My pilonidal sinus came back after endoscopic surgery 6 months ago and I'm really worried. What could be causing this recurrence and what are my options now? The first surgery seemed to work but now it's back and I don't know what to do

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

Question

My cousin was just diagnosed with two gallstones - one is 7mm and the other 4mm. Do they need surgery to remove these or can it be managed without an operation? If surgery is needed, would it be considered a minor or major procedure and roughly what would the cost be?

Question

Can you share more details about the surgery I need, like what exactly it involves and how long recovery usually takes? Also wondering which hospital would be best for this procedure and why you'd recommend them - do they have special expertise or better success rates? Could you also give me an idea about the costs and if there are any package deals or membership options that might help with expenses
