how long does it take to heal after fistulectomy surgery and what side effects should i expect also any tips to speed up recovery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fistulectomy typically requires 4 to 6 weeks for complete healing, with most feeling better within a week. Expect some mild pain, swelling, and discomfort. To speed up recovery, follow your surgeon's instructions, manage pain, prioritize rest, and avoid strenuous activities

View allI have a pilonidal sinus and I'm trying to decide between laser treatment or flap surgery which one would be better for me I've heard mixed things and I'm not sure what to go for Also how much do these procedures usually cost
Both laser surgery (pilonidal laser treatment) and traditional surgery can be effective for pilonidal sinus. However, laser surgery may not always fully resolve the issue, and there's a chance of recurrence. Traditional surgery, while more invasive, typically offers a higher success rate for complete recovery.
