Hi, thanks for writing..
If all the blood parameters, BP, sugar is well undercontrol with no other signs of infection, you can undergo oophorectomy.. There is no relation of the operation with flight travel.. but after the operation, you should avoid travelling for 6 weeks because the change in pressure affects wound healing.. So you can proceed with operation after the holiday..Hope I have answered your query.. Good day..
