How Open Carpal Tunnel Release is performed
Usually performed under local or regional anesthesia; thickening of the tendon sheath or cysts can be treated simultaneously if applicable. The common practice is to expose the transverse carpal ligament through a small incision, gradually release it under direct vision, protect the median nerve and blood vessels, and use magnified illumination or nerve monitoring if necessary. Postoperative dressing and elevation, monitoring of pain and sensation, and sequential activities of fingers and wrists are performed with the goal of relieving compression and restoring function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific treatment should be based on specialist evaluation.
