Question : Hi,

May I know how soon a patient can make a flight journey after undergoing stapedotomy/stapedectomy?

Hi,

Thank you for your query

In most patients, we instruct not to blow nose; not to take up flight journey and not to strain for 4 weeks following stapedectomy.

Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to address other concerns if you have any

Regards
