More than 300 people across Shropshire have been waiting more than a year for routine operations.
The backlog has been partly caused by the cancellation of all but the most serious procedures during the first lockdown, which started in March and eased during late summer. A second lockdown was rolled out in England on Thursday.
Health commissioner Dave Evans said work was under way to resolve the situation.

A Shropshire brewer said he fears for his job after the latest lockdown closed England's pubs.
Eric Berril, head brewer at St Anne's Brewery, outside Shrewsbury, says the future for the industry looks bleak.
He says he has been left with "loads" of beer, much of which will end up being poured down drains.

"From being secure in my little job, I don't know if I am going to have a job next week and I am in limbo."
