Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In most cases, healing from the bottom is the best approach. Alternatively, if the wound looks clean, secondary suture of the cavity can be tried under antibiotic treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.
