Carpal tunnel surgery

Carpal tunnel surgery, also called carpal tunnel release or carpal tunnel decompression surgery, is a surgery that is indicated to surgically treat carpal tunnel syndrome consisting of releasing the middle nerve of the hand. It is known as carpal tunnel syndrome, when the tendons of the hand swell and the middle nerve is restricted by narrowing the tunnel, this is the nerve in the wrist that allows sensitivity and movement to parts of the hand. This causes numbness, discomfort or decreased control in the movements of the hand, wrist and fingers.
