Recurrent pilonidal sinus often requires surgery. However, some less invasive options like laser treatment or drainage may be available. Consult with a colorectal surgeon to explore these alternatives.

I have an 11mm supra umbilical hernia and my doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery but I'm confused because it still involves a 15mm incision for the port. Wouldn't open surgery be a better option since the incision size is almost the same? Is my thinking correct medically?
While a 15mm incision for the laparoscopic port might seem comparable to an open surgery, laparoscopic surgery still offers advantages like reduced pain, faster recovery, and potentially lower complication rates. The laparoscopic approach uses multiple small incisions, not just one larger one, and the surgical view provided by the laparoscope can offer precision and potentially less manipulation of surrounding tissues.

I've been dealing with a perianal abscess, and my ultrasound confirmed it. The doctors are saying I should have surgery, and I'm really anxious about any potential long-term effects it could have. Is surgery the only option here, or are there any alternatives I could consider? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.
Surgery is usually the most effective treatment for perianal abscesses, and while there may be some short-term discomfort and risk of complications, long-term effects are generally minimal; however, to discuss alternatives and potential risks, consult your surgeon
