Overview
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Surgery?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Surgery is a specialized procedure designed to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, reducing pain, numbness, and weakness caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. When non-surgical treatments fail to provide relief, surgery becomes the most effective option for long-term recovery.
At Dr. KM Cherian Institute of Medical Sciences, our Department of Neurosurgery offers advanced carpal tunnel syndrome surgery in Kerala, including minimally invasive and traditional surgical approaches for faster healing and improved outcomes.
When is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Surgery Needed?
Surgery is recommended for patients who:
- Experience persistent wrist pain, numbness, or tingling that affects daily activities.
- Have severe nerve compression, confirmed through nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG).
- Suffer from hand weakness or difficulty gripping objects.
- Have worsening symptoms despite using splints, medications, or physical therapy.
If left untreated, chronic carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to permanent nerve damage, making early surgical intervention essential.
Types of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Surgery
At KMC Hospital, Chengannur, we specialize in two primary types of carpal tunnel syndrome surgery:
Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
- A minimally invasive procedure using a tiny camera (endoscope) to guide the surgeon.
- A small incision which causes less pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery.
- Patients often resume normal activities within a few weeks.
Open Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery
- It involves a slightly larger incision to access and relieve pressure on the median nerve.
- Recommended for severe or complex cases.
- Provides effective long-term relief, with recovery taking around 4-6 weeks.
Our expert neurosurgeons in Kerala will assess your condition and recommend the best surgical option.
