Thanks Moz - the employee has asked for four weeks leave (and has around 20 personal days accrued) so would not be able to take the entire time as sick leave in any case. After much discussion, we have decided to grant any recovery time as sick leave providing the employee is able to give us a certificate. We think this is the right thing to do, and I do believe any time spent travelling pre-operation is a fair ask to be taken as annual leave.
