Made my appt for November. Dr A's staff is sending me the paperwork this upcoming week. Yea!!
Is there anyone in Europe doing this?
so had anyone used his services yet? anyone here that can share his experience?
Dr. Arnkoff performed "the Procedure" on me on Sept 24 and today is the 26th. I have minor pain with little leakage, if any. I found hime to be quite professional and the process to about 45 minutes.
R,
Congrats on your orchiectomy. Glad it worked out. Good to have positive feedback on Dr. Arnkoff.
Heal quickly,
Don
regreen13,
Would you have been OK to get on an aeroplane after the procedure or the next day, for a 12 hour trip?
I'm in the UK and am planning the logistics of making a visit to Dr. Arnkoff. I think Detroit is the nearest airport but there are no direct flights from the UK I understand, so it's a long trip with a change.
I would not advise flying until at least 2-4 days after any surgery on a long trip. Especially one as there is most likely a drain installed.
Delta Airlines has non-stop service from Heathrow to DTW 2 flights a day. KLM also sells seats on those flights as well, so check both for the best price. Good luck.
I took a two-hour flight three days after my orchiectomy. No real issues as there was no drainage or seeping. Longer flights might be a bit more uncomfortable, but not unbearably so. The more you rest and remain less active the first two to three days after surgery, the better your healing will be.
Orchiectomy performed 6/9/2011 by Dr. Reed in Miami
