Carpal tunnel is a syndrome caused due to weakness and pain in the hand which caused by pressure on nerves in the wrist. The median nerve and the tendons that curl the fingers go through a passage called the carpal tunnel in the wrist. As this tunnel is narrow, so swelling can pinch the nerve and cause the pain. A thick tissue under your skin makes up the top of this tunnel. A Carpal Tunnel Release surgery generally is performed in less than 30 minutes as the incision does not need to be deep into the body to sever the Transverse Carpal Ligament.
There are two types of carpal tunnel surgery: open carpal tunnel release and endoscopic carpal tunnel release.
The surgeon makes a small cut near the wrist. The surgeon then inserts an endoscope into the wrist. Endoscope is a long, flexible tube which is attached with a light and camera. The camera takes video from inside the wrist and these images appear on a monitor inside the operating room. Then the surgeon will insert other tools through this opening and cut the carpal ligament to reduce pressure on your nerve. The surgeon removes the tools and endoscope and then closes the incision with a stitch. This procedure takes about 15 to 60 minutes. Patient receives anesthesia before the procedure. Anesthesia cause patient to fall asleep and prevent pain during the procedure.
