I've been diagnosed with pilonidal sinus and I'm not sure what the best treatment option is. Should I consider plastic surgery or is regular open surgery good enough? I'm a bit worried about recovery and which one would be better long-term
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Pilonidal sinus is best treated with surgical options—excision with flap closure or laser.ENT-away inflammations often need tissue excision rather than simple drainage.

View allI just got diagnosed with a right irreducible inguinal hernia with omentum inside and everyone's suggesting open surgery but I'm wondering why laparoscopy isn't an option here what are the pros and cons for my case
Irreducible hernias with omentum are usually operated by open method due to risk of complications; laparoscopy is less preferred if there's obstruction or dense adhesions.
