How to recover after carpal tunnel release surgery 
Know that you will most likely be sent home shortly after surgery. 
A carpal tunnel release surgery is generally done as an " outpatient procedure, " meaning that you show up during the day, receive the surgery, and are sent home the same day. It is very rare that anyone would need to stay overnight, or be officially admitted for a hospital stay, for this surgery.

Available choices:
 -- Plan to be unaccompanied for the day after surgery. This allows doctors to check on you, and monitor you for the day after surgery.
 -- Stay with your team after the surgery. Regardless of the decision after surgery, your team can still help you get through any problems as they await your recovery.
 -- Know that cavities in the body undergo surgery. Cavities can cause other body parts to move in different directions.
 -- Therefore, excluding unforeseen complications, you can expect to be sent home on the same day. Wear a bandage or splint after surgery.
