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 |

My second hip op with the surgeon. Last time in Woodlands this time Nuffield. The surgeon gives you so much care and attention before and after the operation that you have no worries about the op. I new the surgeon was not operating at Woodlands and fortunately was able to trace him to the Nuffield
The Nuffield is an outstanding Hospital with a wonderful staff .Alwayss available with a smile on their faces to sort out any problems I had..
No one really wants to be in Hospital but if you have to go to one for treatment then I would look no further than the Nuffield even if ,like me. , it meant travelling a few extra miles to get there for appointments and Physio etc Original Comment Report... |
