Carpal Tunnel Surgery

Carpal tunnel surgery is a procedure to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, which can become compressed due to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. This syndrome often causes symptoms like pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers. During the surgery, a surgeon makes a small incision in the wrist and cuts the ligament that is pressing on the nerve. This creates more space for the nerve, alleviating symptoms. The procedure can be done using traditional methods or minimally invasive techniques, and recovery typically involves rest and rehabilitation to regain strength and mobility.
