Carpal Tunnel Release

Carpal Tunnel Release is a surgical procedure performed to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, which is compressed in patients suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This condition often causes pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers, affecting daily activities and grip strength. The surgery involves cutting the transverse carpal ligament to create more space for the median nerve, thereby reducing compression and relieving symptoms. It can be performed using an open technique or minimally invasive endoscopic methods, both of which aim to restore hand function, reduce pain, and allow a quicker return to normal activities. Early intervention and proper post-operative rehabilitation are key to achieving optimal outcomes and preventing recurrence of symptoms.
