Flying after chelesteotoma surgery

Posted , 3 users are following.

I had surgery. Everything seems to be going well and as planned. I've had a trip booked way before I was diagnosed. Anyone know if it will be ok to fly 21 days after surgery?

    Glad to hear all going well for you.  My 15 year old son has had a number of opps for cholesteatoma and has always felt well after.  I think I have read about advice on flying on some websites, saying 3 months.  I'm sure all consultants give different guidelines so probably best checking on your post opp check up.  Good luck

    Hi

    My son was told at least 3 months after each operation to remove colesteatoma. He has had 5 and his last one was the biggest yet and he was told no flying for 6 months.

    Every doctor is different my sons doctor is a ENT professor at evelina London.

    Hope u get it sorted
