Indraprastha Apollo Hospital Carpal Tunnel Release Package

The procedure is completely safe but it is advisable to consider certain potential side effects of carpal tunnel surgery.

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Injury to the median nerve or nerves that branch out from it
• Injuries to nearby blood vessels
• A sensitive scar

These complications can be avoided with proper consultation with the treating physician.

Resolution from symptoms begins the day of your surgery, but full recovery takes months. After the operation, you should expect pain, edoema, and stiffness. The doctor will advise you on which medications may be beneficial. Once the surgery is done you might experience some soreness for a few weeks to a few months. For 1-2 weeks, your bandage will be on. The doctor may prescribe activities to keep your fingers moving and prevent them from becoming too stiff during this time. In the first two weeks, you can use your hand gently, but it helps to not put too much effort on it. You can gradually return to everyday activities, such as:

• Driving: couple of days after surgery
• Writing: after a week, but expect 4-6 weeks before it feels easier
• Pulling, gripping, and pinching (weakly): 6-8 weeks
• Expect to be back to full strength in 10-12 weeks, or up to a year in more extreme cases

The doctor will discuss when you will be able to return to work and whether you will be restricted in what you can accomplish.

Carpal tunnel syndrome surgery has a good success rate of more than 90%. Carpal tunnel release is a surgery that is intended to treat and maybe mend carpal tunnel syndrome, which is a painful ailment. Carpal tunnel syndrome was once thought to be caused by an overuse injury or a repeated action made by the wrist or hand, most commonly at work.

You may be advised by your treating doctor to take post operative care such as the following post the surgery:

• To minimise swelling and avoid stiffness, raise your hand above your heart and move your fingers.
• Several times a day, ice the surgery site for a specific period of time.
• For many weeks, you might have to wear a splint or wrist brace.
• Follow the doctor's directions for when it's safe to return to work and whether you'll be restricted in the work activities.
• If the discomfort and weakness persist for more than two months after surgery, you may be sent to a hand therapist to aid in the recovery process.
