Procedure Information |
WHAT HAPPENS DURING CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE SURGERY? Carpal tunnel release is usually performed using a local anaesthetic so that you feel nothing and a light sedation so you remain relaxed. The procedure takes about twenty minutes. Your surgeon will make a small incision (cut) in your wrist. They will then cut the flexor retinaculum - the ligament that forms the top of the carpal tunnel - relieving the pressure on the median nerve. The incision will be closed using sutures (stitches). Some surgeons will perform this procedure endoscopically - inserting a tiny camera into the incision to examine your wrist and cut the ligament. AFTER THE OPERATION Carpal tunnel release is usually done on an outpatient basis meaning you will do home the same day as the procedure. You may go home with a splint or heavy bandage on your wrist. Once these are removed you will begin exercises and physiotherapy to regain movement in your wrist and arms. Most people make a good recovery and return to normal activities following carpal tunnel release. As with any surgery there can be complications: Pain Bleeding Infection of the surgical site (incision) Scarring SPECIFIC COMPLICATIONS IN CARPAL TUNNEL RELEASE INCLUDE: Continued numbness in fingers Tenderness around scar Aching in the wrist Return of numbness and pain Complex regional pain syndrome – a rare, but chronic (long-term) condition that causes a burning pain in one of the limbs |

After recent hip replacement surgery I was in extreme pain the first night, was told rather dismissively that I could have asked for more pain relief. I would have expected to be checked on in the night. No one told me that my husband and daughter had phoned. My husband twice was told he would be put through shortly, he waited 1 hour and 3/4 hr respectively before being cut off. No one told me that my lower leg would probably swell up when I was at home. This resulted in the support stocking digging into my leg and causing a large area of black bruising. Two different members of staff told me on different occasions that they would be back in a few minutes, neither of them returned and one apparently had gone off shift. Night time was generally quiet except at 3am one night there was a lot of clattering and banging doors for about 15 minutes. I was very disappointed with the attitude of some of the staff, the food that I thought was poor and the dilapidated state of the rooms and ward especially compared to a different private hospital I attended in the past. |
