Is An Open Hole About The Size Of A Dime After Bartholin Gland Removal A Cause For Concern?

I had my bartholin gland removed on Tuesday last week. By Saturday all the stitches fell out and there is about a open hole about the size of a dime. I saw my gynaecologist today and he said this is ok but I have read many articles that say otherwise.
