Surgery called carpal tunnel release is used to treat and possibly cure the excruciating condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. Medical professionals once believed that repeated motions or overuse injuries to the wrist or hand, frequently from employment, were the cause of carpal tunnel syndrome.
They now understand that some people just have smaller carpal tunnels than others and that it's most likely an innate propensity (something that runs in families). Repetitive usage of a vibrating tool or injuries like sprains or fractures can also result in carpal tunnel syndrome. It has also been connected to rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, thyroid conditions, and pregnancy.

The treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome depends on the severity of the condition and the duration of the symptoms. Generally, the physicians first recommend non-surgical interventions such as the use of corticosteroid injections and wrist splints to relieve the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
A carpal tunnel treatment surgery is recommended in case:
The carpal tunnel treatment surgery is an open technique. The surgeon may make a cut in the transverse carpal ligament that forms the roof of the tunnel. The carpal tunnel treatment allows more room for the median nerve and the tendons to pass through the tunnel. Thereby, the pressure on the nerve is reduced causing relief from the symptoms.
Carpal tunnel surgery is a simple outpatient procedure. You can go to the hospital, get the surgery done, and walk back to home on the same day.
On the day of the surgery, the area to be operated is cleaned with an antiseptic solution to avoid the chances of contracting an infection. The anesthetist administers a local anesthetic injection to numb the wrist area. This is done so that you do not experience any pain during the procedure.
A small cut is made in the palm near to the wrist area. Once the transverse carpal ligament is visible, a small cut is made in the ligament. This relieves the pressure on the nerve. The skin is put back and stitched together in its original position. A bandage is placed on the palm.
The following are the two alternatives to the open carpal tunnel surgery:
Endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery: The surgical procedure is similar to that of open surgery but the entire surgery is performed by looking at the camera. A small incision is made and small instruments with a camera attached to them are placed inside. The incision is small and damage is minimal. It gives you a chance to recover faster than the open technique. The healing is better and minimal pain is felt.
Key hole surgery: In this procedure, a smaller incision than normal is made on the palm. A special instrument with a light at one end and microscope at the other end is placed. This gives the doctor a chance to see the carpal ligament and carefully guide the tools to cut the targeted area.
The symptoms are usually relieved immediately after the surgery or in most cases, within a few months. You may feel numbness in the fingers for the next 15 to 16 hours.
The time you take to recover from carpal tunnel surgery depends on the severity of symptoms you had before the treatment.
