Dr. Dimitri Novitzky answered

Specializes in Thoracic Surgery

Fenestration of an arachoid cyst: If the procedure was uncomplicated, I think within a week the patient should be able to ambulate, and within a month do parachute jumping. Obviously under the supervision of the neurosurgeon who did the opration
