Can I fly with a femoral hernia if my surgery is scheduled for November 2nd but my flight is on October 18th
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's generally advisable to wait a period of time after surgery before flying, and that time frame can vary depending on the type of surgery and individual recovery. Given that your femoral hernia surgery is scheduled for November 2nd and your flight is on October 18th, you should consult with your surgeon before flying.the timing to fly after hernia surgery varies based on the surgical method and individual recovery, and open surgery may require several weeks. Your surgeon can assess your specific situation and provide tailored guidance on when it's safe for you to fly.

My cousin was just diagnosed with two gallstones - one is 7mm and the other 4mm. Do they need surgery to remove these or can it be managed without an operation? If surgery is needed, would it be considered a minor or major procedure and roughly what would the cost be?
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a very safe, minimally invasive, daycare surgery. If your epilepsy is well controlled, there’s usually no added risk. If it’s not well controlled, you can first focus on stabilizing it and then plan the surgery—it’s not an emergency. In the meantime, avoid oily and spicy food and maintain a healthy lifestyle to manage symptoms. Also, for gallstones, the gallbladder needs to be removed—just removing the stones won’t help, as they tend to recur. And ESWL is effective only for kidney stones, not for gallstones.
