How Carpal Tunnel Release (Open/Endoscopic) is performed
This procedure aims to decompress the median nerve, with options including open, minimally invasive, or endoscopic techniques. A common approach involves exposing and incising the transverse carpal ligament under local or brachial plexus anesthesia, addressing any hypertrophic synovium if necessary, and confirming that there is no residual compression of the nerve and tendon sheath. Subsequently, hemostasis, suturing, and compressive bandaging are performed. Postoperatively, pain, sensation, and blood supply are monitored, with early gentle finger movements initiated. The goal is to alleviate symptoms and promote functional recovery. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
