At Lenmed Ahmed Kathrada Private Hospital, Carpal Tunnel Release is performed using specialized hand surgery techniques and personalized treatment planning. Established in 1984, this COHSASA, ISQua accredited hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa has 254 beds and offers comprehensive orthopedic and rehabilitation services.

Carpal Tunnel Release may be considered for patients whose median nerve compression continues to cause symptoms or results in weakness and muscle wasting. Before surgery, the specialist evaluates sensation, hand strength, wrist movement, and symptom patterns, while nerve conduction studies may be used when the diagnosis or severity requires further assessment. During the operation, the ligament forming the roof of the carpal tunnel is released, creating additional space for the median nerve. Recovery usually includes wound care, gradual hand movement, and activity modification.
