Minimal: Anytime you're in the hospital, having general anesthesia and any surgery, there are risks. However pilonidal sinus cyst surgery is not a major procedure and today's anesthesilogists are so skilled and well trained that risk of adverse events are extremely small. Also you have complete confidence in your surgeons expertise.

Usual: Bleeding and infection. Hopefully it gets completely excised and if continue to give you problems. Perform exact follow up care. All the best. Your surgeon will cover all risk factors.
