It depends on the cause of the ulnar neuropathy. Anconeus epitrochlearis, a accessory muscle slip which can cause this syndrome would be addressed surgically, as would a nerve sheath tumor. Many other causes would not require surgery.
Yes! It takes just half an hour and is done with local anesthesia.
It IS outpatient, but definitely NOT local. Just had this done two weeks ago.

Yes, one should avoid heavy lifting while waiting for surgery and also for at least 4 weeks after surgery
Neuropathy
After left collar bone surgery the patient is given after surgery care instructions from the Dr. Eventually after the surgery the patient should be able to lift weights in moderation but consult a physician before any exercise program starts.
Usually it's from having a nerve that runs through elbow (ulnar nerve) being pressed or crimped.Its called ulnar neuritis..AKA draftsman's elbow.You can get numbeness and pain along bottom of forearm into last 2 fingers.Reposition arm/elbow...if it is occurring all the time you may need surgery to reposition the nerve.It can mimic carpal tunnel syndrome
I had a complete elbow replacement and nothing is earmarked to be taken out. Perhaps you should have a word with your doctor.
He had surgery 5 times on his left leg.

The site of the surgery depends upon the nature of surgery and should best be left for the Surgeon to decide
That sounds like the best thing to do to start with. Nerve compression should be fixed up as quickly as possible as permanent damage can ensue.
Author Notice: It turned out they were a fibourous tumour, called a Fibro Lipoma. I got them taken out by surgery. there should not be two lumps on your left leg i would get that checked out if i was you.
Something this serious you need to have a second opinion. If the second doctor agrees with the first doctor that you should have surgery, then you need to. I wish you all the luck in the world, a speedy recovery if you wish to have surgery and may God Bless you:)
