Usually they release: The ulnar nerve and transfer to the front to avoid future problem, also did you electromyography and nerve studies for both nerves if they are positive that a could indication the surgery is need.

Scared or scarred?: Just kidding. Typically ulnar nerve release at the elbow is a straight forward procedure just as carpal tunnel release is. Talk to your surgeon and share your fears, get your questions asked and answered prior to surgery.
