Asking for Self, Male, 39 years old, UK
I have a meniscus tear and have been advised to go for a key hole surgery to repair it. I have been told its only a day surgery. My question is How long is the recovery time as i have a holiday booked to pakistan for 2 month stay exactly 1 month after procedure. should i cancel procedure till after holiday or will i be ok.
It depends upon the type of meniscal tear. It is advisable that you should undergo the surgery during you holidays so that effective physiotherapy can also be carried out.
It takes at least 8 weeks of rehabilitation programme
Travelling can be done after the day of surgery
At doctors hospital lahore advance key hole surgery by arthroscopic
American consultant is available .
