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 |

I was an inpatient for surgery and the overall temperature in the ward was incredibly hot due to good weather outside, all in patient rooms and areas need individual air conditioning units to control the temperature as even a bar of chocolate in my bedside melted, it was particularly hot for all the nursing staff working too. Fly screens at the bedroom windows would stop all the insects from entering the rooms attracted by any night lights. The mobile CT and MRI scanner lorries parked outside were continuously noisy throughout the night making whirring noises which echoed around the car park. All staff I met were attentive, caring and extremely helpful making my stay a really positive experience. |

I have just had a partial thyroid removal. the whole experience from initial consultation to the actual surgery involved a number of staff. from the lady who emptied the bin to the surgeon who carried out rhe procedure was exceptional. nothing was too much trouble. it would be difficult to pick out one member because they were all exceptional. I would have no hesitation of returning to Nuffield should the need arise. |
