WHAT IS CARPAL TUNNEL?

When the median nerve in your wrist becomes squeezed or stretched Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) occurs. The finger, hand muscles, and feelings are controlled by your median nerve.

The median nerve originates in the upper arm, travels through the forearm, and then terminates in the hand. The carpal tunnel surgery  is the passageway through which the median nerve travels when it passes through your wrist.

A collection of bones, tendons, and ligaments constitutes the carpal tunnel. The median nerve has less room if the carpal tunnel broadens. The nerve thus becomes compressed as a result of this narrowing, which affects the functioning of your hand and fingers. 

Anyone can develop carpal tunnel syndrome, although women are more likely to do so.

 

SYMPTOMS OF CARPAL TUNNEL

  • Weakness in the affected hand
  • Trouble holding things
  • Numbness and pain in hand/wrist that becomes severe during the night
  • Tingling & burning sensation in thumb and fingers 

CAUSES OF CARPAL TUNNEL

  • Repetitive movements of hand during typing 
  • Degenerative conditions like arthritis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis
  • Racket-holding sports and physical activities
  • Activities that involve extension and flexion of the hand and wrist for a prolonged time like playing a few musical instruments 
  • Hormonal changes during pregnancy

 

WHAT IS MIS ENDOSCOPIC CARPAL TUNNEL SURGERY?

WHAT IS MIS ENDOSCOPIC CARPAL TUNNEL SURGERY?

Endoscopic carpal tunnel release is a kind of minimally invasive surgery in which a tiny device with a camera is put into a small incision on the wrist. With the help of this camera, the surgeon can release the transverse carpal ligament without making a major incision.

On top of the tendons and nerves at the wrist lies a band known as the transverse carpal ligament. The median nerve is relieved of pressure by releasing this ligament, which helps the patient's fingers stop hurting and tingling.

After this treatment, patients can return home the same day as it is a daycare surgery. Depending on the severity of the condition, carpal tunnel syndrome-related pain and numbness may go away immediately after surgery.

WAYS OF PREVENTING CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

  • Keeping your wrist straight
  • Use a splint or brace that helps keep your wrist in a straight position
  • Keep your hands warm
  • Take breaks from work whenever you can
  • Put the hands and wrists in the right position while working
