Can you have surgery in summer?
Yes. The best time is when you feel ready and can set aside time to recover.
- For people who work from home or in quiet settings, 3–4 days is usually enough.
- Those who work face to face or in busy settings are advised to allow about a week.
This is why teachers and patients travelling from other cities or abroad often choose the summer holidays for surgery.
