Hello,
The hole in the head easily closes itself by skull bone remodulation. On the other hand, the surgeon may use stitching material like glue to close it for the moment. Anyway, there is no reason to worry about it!
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
