What to do if i having carpal tunnel surgery, is it better to get both done at the same time?

Depends on help: It depends on how much help you have at home. Some patients prefer going through one recovery and having both done at the same time. However, the dressing usually stays on for 2-3 days, so daily activities and hygiene can be challenging if you have both done at the same time, without family members helping out.

No: To a degree this is a personal preference. However, i would strongly discourage having both hands done at the same time. It makes the initial recovery pretty difficult.
