Removing thick ligaments compressing wrist median nerve through minimal incision
Carpal tunnel is a pathway underneath the subcutaneous tissue of the wrist, consisting of wrist bones and ligaments. Nine tendons and one nerve pass through this tunnel. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition of the palm and fingers when the median nerve is damaged by compression of narrowed carpal tunnel. If the pain persists even after conventional treatments, nerve decompression surgery, involving the opening of the ligaments and relieving the nerve, can be performed. For advanced endoscopic surgery, this can be done through a minimal incision of 1-2 cm that can aid with early recovery.
10~20 minutes
