What are the treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome?
Carpal tunnel syndrome in the early stages can be treated by simple remedies like taking more rest, applying ice compression.Using a splint or taking anti-inflammatory medication also helps in relieving the symptoms.However, if the symptoms are very severe, it is best to undergo a simple surgery.
How is endoscopic surgery done for carpal tunnel syndrome?
In this procedure, an endoscope which is a thin tube with a camera is used to perform the surgery. The surgery is performed referring to the image that the camera shows on a screen.
Flow of the procedure:
Patient is given general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia for the procedure
A small incision is made to insert the endoscope
Observing the image on the screen from the camera, a ligament is cut to release pressure from the median nerve
The incision is stitched after the procedure is done
What are the risks involved in endoscopic treatment?
There are very less complications through this treatment. Some of the risks may be:
Anaesthesia risks
Bleeding
Nerve injury
Injury to nearby blood vessels
Infection
How is open surgery done for carpal tunnel syndrome?

Flow of the procedure:
Patient is given general anaesthesia for the procedure
A large 2-inch incision is made at the wrist
The ligament putting pressure on the median nerve is cut
The incision is stitched up and thick bandages are put on the wrist
What is the recovery time for open surgery?
It takes 1- 2 weeks to recover from open surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Applying a cold or warm compress to the affected hand usually relieves the symptoms. Wearing a hand splint also helps in most cases. If the pain is more, you can also take some anti-inflammatory medicines.
What care should I take after carpal tunnel surgery?
Overusing the hand for a few months after the surgery is not advisable. Applying ice pack to the hand also helps in faster recovery. Wearing a wrist brace or hand splint also helps.

During the surgery, you will not feel any pain. But you might feel some pain or numbness at the incision in the wrist. If it’s too bad, the doctor might give you pain medication. If you’ve had an open surgery, it might be more painful as the incision is bigger in this case.
