Removal of a Large Pilar Cyst

Sorry for the long absence. I'm involved with a number of things and I simply haven't had the time. This was a fairly clean and complete removal of a pilar cyst. The only debate to be had with this case would focus around the need to remove redundant tissue at the end of the procedure as this cyst was fairly large and left somewhat of a loose 'pocket' behind. This is about right at the limit where I have that debate. Any larger and I would have been forced to remove tissue but this size, and certainly cysts smaller than this one, will usually heal well with time. Within 4-6 months the scalp tissue will be normal without any sagging, etc. Anyway, thanks again for tuning in and feel free to leave a question and I'll try and get to it if I can. Take care.
