A member asked:

I got pilonidal sinus if i go to the emergency hospital will they do the surgery there?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: This is a common problem that is not an immediate threat to life or limb. That would likely see you and refer you to a surgeon to schedule the procedure at a future date. The facility may not do those procedures anyway. Given that you are under age they may not see you unless you have a parent with you.
