Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release

Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, which causes carpal tunnel syndrome. Using a small camera and specialized instruments inserted through tiny wrist incisions, the surgeon cuts the transverse carpal ligament to expand the tunnel. This reduces nerve compression, alleviating symptoms like numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. The endoscopic approach typically results in less pain, a shorter recovery time, and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery.
