I 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.
