I considered finding a way to use"voluntary" or "recovery of independence", but is there a medical term for this post anaesthesia recovery function?
Al termine della procedura chirurgica, l'anestesista metterà in atto tutta una serie di manovre che permetteranno, in totale sicurezza, di recuperare la funzione dei muscoli e la respirazione, favorendo il risveglio in breve tempo, il recupero dello stato di coscienza e la completa autonomia.

let you get back on your feet
"la completa autonomia" is typical Italian medspeak. It means, as you yourself wrote, a "recovery of independence" on the part of the patient as opposed to being under anesthetic. Being a patient information leaflet, I would be inclined to use an informal tone.
So the whole sentence might go something like this (just a suggestion):
"At the end of the procedure, the anesthetist will bring you back to consciousness in complete safety, allowing you to regain control of your muscles and your breathing, and letting you get back on your feet."
You could even use "wake you up" instead of "bring you back to consciousness".

Note from asker:
| Thanks I realised this is what the text meant, I am looking for a common medical term in the anaesthetic field. |

complete recovery of the functioning of the autonomous nervous system
Not just being able to self-recover from that point on. This refers to the autonomous nervous system - a set of functions, etc. that largely associated with involuntary breathing, etc.
At the end of the surgical procedure, the anaesthetist will put in place a whole series of manoeuvres that will safely allow the recovery of muscle function and breathing, leading to awakening in a short time, recovery of consciousness and complete independence.
