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 |

Well what can I say? More of a luxury hotel than a hospital, spotless and I am so grateful to my surgeon and their team, the nursing staff and housekeepers who looked after me so well. I was made to feel welcome from my admission right up to my discharge and can say this was a great experience after my minor surgery even though quite nervous was put at ease by the kindness and courteous way I was treated by everyone who had contact with me. I very much hope that my surgeon will be able to treat me again there as I would hesitate for one moment to return. Wonderful place and plenty of tea, coffee, water and a three course lunch. Thank you so much also to the lovely Receptionist and Ward Clerk as well. Original Comment Report... |
