When can i take the bandages off after carpal tunnel release surgery?

About a week: I usually have the patient back in the office in 8 days to remove a soft dressing.

Ask your surgeon!: When i perform carpal tunnel releases, wether open or endoscopic, I have the patients remove their bandages 2-3 days after surgery. There is no reason for prolonged immobilization after surgery and you can begin using the hand as soon as you feel comfortable. Follow your surgeon's instructions and call the office if you have questions or concerns.

3-4 days: The earliest time is generally 3-4 days after surgery once the wound has epithelialized. It is not unusual to keep dressings in place until 10-14 days, however.

Ask your Dr.: In general, after 7-10 days. However, surgeons have different practices so touch base with your surgeon.
