These give patients practical advice on recovery after surgery including returning to work. The first seven are for: CABG discectomy laparoscopic cholecystectomy laparoscopic nephrectomy thyroidectomy total knee replacement carpal tunnel release They were overseen by a steering group that included representatives from OH, GPs, anaesthetists and patients, with funding for the project from DWP.
