Wound reopening with pus discharge after pilonidal sinus surgery may indicate a recurrence of the sinus or a post-surgical infection, which can happen even after a straightforward procedure.
This requires prompt medical evaluation to assess whether there is a new sinus tract, abscess, or infection. Please consult your surgeon as soon as possible for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment.

You may be having a recurrence. Please visit your surgeon and get yourself examined. A sonography or MRI may be done to evaluate the area.
