A member asked:
Are there any risk in umbilical pilonidal sinus removal surgery ? is it a simple procedure or complicated ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Simple : But no procedure is without some risk; pain, infection, bleeding, etc. Your surgeon will review the risk benefit with you - don't be afraid to ask questions or get a second surgical opinion.
