What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome happens when the median nerve, which runs from your forearm into your hand, becomes compressed at the wrist. This pressure leads to numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in the hand and fingers—especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
Why is the Carpal Tunnel Important?
The carpal tunnel is a narrow passage in your wrist made up of bones and a ligament. It protects the median nerve and tendons that help move your fingers. When this space becomes too tight (often from swelling), it puts pressure on the nerve and can make everyday tasks like gripping, typing, or lifting difficult and painful.
How is Carpal Tunnel Surgery Done?
Carpal tunnel surgery, also known as carpal tunnel release, relieves pressure on the median nerve by cutting the ligament that forms the roof of the tunnel.
There are two main types of surgery:
1. Traditional Open Surgery
A small incision is made at the base of the palm.
The ligament is carefully cut to create more space for the nerve.
The incision is closed with stitches, and recovery begins.
2. Minimally Invasive Endoscopic Surgery
One or two tiny incisions are made.
A tiny camera (endoscope) is inserted to guide the surgeon.
The ligament is released using small surgical tools, without needing a large incision.
Why Choose Minimally Invasive Techniques?
✅ Smaller incisions
✅ Less pain after surgery
✅ Shorter recovery time
✅ Minimal scarring
✅ Quicker return to daily activities
Advanced technologies like high-definition endoscopes, nerve-monitoring systems, and ultrasound-guided tools make the procedure safer and more precise than ever before.
When Should I Consider Surgery?
If you’ve tried wrist splints, rest, or medications and still experience:
Persistent numbness or tingling
Weak grip strength
Worsening pain that interferes with work or sleep
