Open Carpal Tunnel Release

Conventional open carpal tunnel release surgery is one of most successful procedures in hand surgery and has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. However, a known sequelae in some individuals who undergo the procedure is “pillar” pain. In an effort to avoid this condition and help people return to work more quickly, the endoscopic technique was developed. Endoscopic carpal tunnel release offers a minimally invasive alternative to other traditional techniques with similar outcomes. By placing the incision proximal to the transverse carpal ligament there is potential for decreased scar sensitivity and pillar pain. The technique is technically demanding. The superficial palmar arch and common digital nerve to the ring and middle fingers are at risk for injury during the procedure. With adherence to anatomical landmarks and the proper visualization, the surgery may be safely performed.
