How Long After Craniotomy It Is Safe To Fly?
Question: I had a craniotomy in order to take samples of brain tissue 6 weeks ago. I need to know if if I am able to fly asap pls?
Hi,
Thank you for contacting Healthcare magic.
As six weeks have passed after the craniotomy, you are fit to fly.
Please remember to take all medicines, as prescribed, especially if any anti-epileptic drugs are there.
Best wishes,
