Hi If the hole is big it normally requires surgery,but if the hole haven't got closed since 6months it is less likely it will heal. So I think you should go for surgery. While in an experienced hands the surgery takes 1hour or so. Post surgery atleast 7 days rest is advisable. No frank complications as such of the surgery are reported. Regards
