Best advice is after at least four weeks. Get your doctor to give you a letter confirming you are fir to fly which will prevent problems with insurance and the airline.

How soon can you fly long haul after an op for a broken femur?

I am having a abdominal hysterectomy on the 22 August and am due to fly on the 7 September, will I be okay to fly if I take all the necessary precautions? This will depend on type of hysterectomy you are having. Laproscopic recovery times are much quicker than abdominal BUT you should ask your surgeon and doctor as you may need a certificate of fitness to travel for the airline. GOOD LUCK

How long should you wait to smoke cigarette after a hysterectomy?

This will depend on whether you have abdominal or laproscopic hysterectomy and also how quickly you heal. The consensus in the medical profession is at least six weeks for abdominal and four for laproscopic. Be advised by your medical team and ensure you obtain a certificate of fitness to fly from your doctor as the airline may require this and your insurance may not cover you should there be complications.


What is all about Abdominal Hysterectomy?

A hysterectomy alone means the removal of the uterus. There are two ways that the surgeon can operate 1. Laparoscopically (key hole) where the uterus is removed by 1 to 4 small incisions in the abdomen to allow the surgical instruments to enter the abdominal cavity. 2. Abdominal is where the surgeon accesses the abdominal cavity by way of a six inch incision in your stomach. Recovery time from abdominal surgery is usually longer and you are left with a larger scar than with laparoscopic surgery.
