Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery
About the procedure
Carpal tunnel release surgery is performed to relieve compression of the median nerve at the wrist, which can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and fingers. The procedure can be done via an open or endoscopic approach, depending on the surgeon’s preference. During surgery, a small incision is made, and the transverse carpal ligament is cut to free the median nerve. The procedure is usually done under local or regional anesthesia. Early finger movement, wound care, and gradual hand therapy aid recovery, which typically takes several weeks to months.
