A member asked:
What should i expect of the removal surgery for a pilonidal cyst? will it be under a general anasthesia?

Here are some...: Generally, general anesthesia is of choice, but individualizing what you need, not necessarily what you like, may be required depending on personal and professional need and preference. So, ask and work together with your doc. Best wish to your health...
