Can I travel by aeroplane after surgery?

It is best to avoid travelling by aeroplane after acoustic neuroma surgery until at least three months after the surgery. This is to prevent the patch that has been used after your surgery from leaking CSF (see above) during changes in atmospheric pressure. After three months, the patched area should be healed and flying should not cause any problems.
