Hi,

The tingling under elbow on left hand does not seem to be related to surgery provided his heart beat is regular, he is not breathless / fatigued.

This might be due to some needle prick for IV infusion being out being healed his changed posture after operation or associated cervical spondylitis. Still having a word with operating surgeon would leave you tension free

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
