Empowering Your Treatment Journey
Before undergoing any surgical procedure, getting clear, direct answers from your surgeon is essential. Here are 10 critical questions to ask during your consultation to make an informed decision.
Critical Questions to Ask:
- What surgical technique are you proposing (Open, Closed, or Laser)?
- How many pilonidal sinus laser surgeries have you personally performed?
- What is your personal recurrence rate for primary and recurrent cases?
- Will there be any cuts, open wounds, or daily painful packing involved?
- What type of anesthesia will be administered?
- Is this a daycare procedure, or does it require overnight hospitalization?
- How many days will I need to miss school or work?
- Do you provide post-surgery laser hair removal protocols?
- Is the treatment covered under my cashless health insurance?
- What is the contingency plan if the sinus has deep, complex branches?
Dr. Saurabh Patel welcomes these questions, offering transparent audits of his 98% success rate and 10,000+ pilonidal sinus procedures during every initial consultation.
