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 sister has gallstones around 8.5mm in size and her gallbladder is really swollen and stretched out. Should she get surgery or is there another way to treat this?
Given the size of the gallstones and the swollen, stretched gallbladder, surgery (cholecystectomy) is usually the best and most definitive treatment. Delaying it can lead to complications like infection or pancreatitis. Medical management is limited and often ineffective in such cases. Please consult a surgeon for timely evaluation.
