What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist. This nerve passes through a narrow tunnel (carpal tunnel) along with tendons that help move your fingers.

When pressure builds up inside this tunnel, it leads to symptoms like numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand.

About the Surgery

Open Carpal Tunnel Release

Carpal Tunnel Release is a quick and effective procedure to relieve pressure on the median nerve, which is responsible for numbness and tingling in the hand.

We perform the open technique, where a small incision is made in the palm to release the tight ligament compressing the nerve. This immediately reduces pressure and allows the nerve to heal.

Small incision with precise technique
15–30 minute procedure
Local or regional anesthesia
Same-day discharge
Safe, proven, long-term results

Most patients experience significant relief soon after surgery.
