Laser surgery for pilonidal sinus

2022-09-23 16:22:18
I had an open surgery for pilonidal sinus with laser ablation, I have a small hole as a result of that surgery near my tailbone. How long will it take for the hole to fill up completely? Or will it stay the same. Should laser hair removal guarantee the chance of no recurrence.
