How do you operate on carpal tunnel syndrome?

Hand palm side: There are two basis procedures, both performed on an ambulatory surgery basis and generally done under local anesthesia with light sedation. The first technique is endoscopic with one or two small incisions at the palm and wrist, releasing the volar carpal ligament. The second is a typically mini-open incision that allows for other procedures such as synovectomy or neurolysis if called for.

Open or endoscopic: Surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) involves cutting the transverse carpal ligament (tcl). Open capal tunnel release utilizes direct visualization of the tcl, which is then cut through a palmar skin incision. Endoscopic carpal tunnel release uses a small wrist incision to enter the carpal tunnel with an endoscope. The tcl is incised through the scope with a retractable endoscopic knife.

Release: The key to carpal tunnel surgery is releasing the transverse carpal ligament. I prefer to this endoscopically using a scope and special knives.

Treatment carpal: Treatment for carpal tunnel can range from conservative to surgical. Antiinflammatory medication, splints to start. Injections in the wrist. Nerve studies and posbily surgery. Carpal tunnel release can be done open or endoscopic. A hand surgeon can help. http://www.handctr.com/carpal-tunnel-syndrome-q-a.html.

It may seem: Similar at times, due to wrist pain, it may be a cooncurrent problem in the right anatominc region, ie there are 9 tendons and only one nerve in the carp[al tunnel. If there were tendonitis near the nerve in the carpal tunnel it could be hard to differentite that form carpal tunnle suptoms.

CTR: Usually done by a minimally invasive technique on the palm that release the median nerve.
