Generally after open surgery patients are encouraged to refrain from driving for a minimum of 4 weeks. After Laparoscopic surgery depending on what you have had done you may be able to drive within a couple of days providing you are not taking any strong pain killers and can comfortably use all foot pedals/gear sticks and mirrors. Please consult you insurer if you have any doubts.
