How Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release is performed
Endoscopic release is usually performed under local or regional anesthesia. An endoscope and special instruments are inserted through one or a few small incisions to cut and release the transverse carpal ligament under direct vision, paying attention to protecting the median nerve and its branches; ultrasound or nerve monitoring can be used if necessary. Postoperative pressure dressing and elevation of the hand, monitoring of sensation and blood supply, and sequential recovery of finger and wrist movements are performed with the goal of reducing compression and improving function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific treatment should be based on specialist evaluation.
