Bathroom : Consider raised toilet seat and use of hand rails/upper body assistance to sit and elevate body.

Just like you always: I do not require sitting restrictions after hip arthroscopy. Just be careful and deliberate getting up and down from any low chair. In over 3000 cases I have never had a patient need an elevated toilet seat.
