There are 2 types of carpal tunnel release surgery. The traditional method is the open release, in which the surgeon cuts open the wrist to do the surgery. The other method is endoscopic carpal tunnel release, in which a thin, flexible tube that contains a camera is put into the wrist through a tiny incision (cut).
Your carpal tunnel houses the median nerve and tendons. The result may be pain, weakness, or numbness in the hand and wrist, radiating up the arm. One of the most common surgical procedures is that to correct carpal tunnel syndrome. It is generally recommended if its symptoms last for 6 months.
