Is It Safe To Fly After Brain Surgery?
My brother had brain surgery a year ago in Brazil. He has not yet had the protective covering where they took part of his skull away. The drs. there say it is safe for him to fly back to the U.S. where we hope he will get faster treatment. Is flying safe for him?

Hello,
Yes, he can travel. as its almost year there won't be any issue. but just before the travel gets a physical examination of the blood pressure and blood routine.
Most cases can be shifted from one place to another without any kind of difficulty.
In fact, it is good that the covering is not there as there will be no signs of high blood Pressure within the brain and he should be fine to fly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
