From personal experience, I had an SP in 1970; no surgery required and no recurrence.
Passed USAF flight physical in 1974 with full disclosure. Cleard for both hypo and hyperbaeric chambers. Later worked in both environments with no problems.
The "pressurized cabin" can mean just about anything. For those seeking duties as air crew, it is good to keep in mind that rapid-decompression can happen anytime in any aircraft.
