Hi, thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic.com!
I'm Dr. Elton Halili, General & Family Physician.
- Yes, this make sense. the surgeon needs to observe your brother-in-low's health state for further complication after the surgery.
- Yes, he can fly when the surgeon decides for him that he can go home safe now.
- That's all.
Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help!
