Default Ulnar nerve surgery

Hi, it looks like I will have to get surgery on my left arm. Here is my quandary...

...decompression I can deal with, but I have heard some nasty tales about 'relocation' of the nerve. Personally I would like it left where it is (i.e. it is there for a reason) plus I have heard some consultants tell me that it is a dangerous procedure that could screw up your arm permanently.

Does anyone know about this more to make a comment... I am not shy enough to not pull the surgeon before hand and say NO!

Am I over-reacting? It is just that I am in the UK and I feel that our medical procedures are still in the stone ages!
