Helping you understand Our healthcare
It’s a surgical procedure to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist by cutting the transverse carpal ligament. This helps reduce numbness, tingling, and pain caused by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).
Surgery is recommended if:
- Symptoms are severe or don’t improve with splints or medications
- Nerve damage is detected in tests (EMG/NCS)
- There is muscle weakness or wasting in the hand
The procedure can be:
Open Surgery – a small incision on the wrist to cut the ligament
Endoscopic Surgery – a minimally invasive method using a camera and small instruments Both methods aim to relieve pressure on the median nerve.
The surgery is usually done under local or regional anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Mild soreness or stiffness may occur after surgery and can be managed with medications.
Most people can return to light activities within 2–4 weeks and heavy/manual work in 6–8 weeks. Full recovery of strength may take a few months.
