A surgical procedure to reli eve pressure exerted
on the median nerve within the carpal tunnel (the carpal tunnel syndrome). The median
nerve is pinched in the wrist as it passes through the carpal tunnel. The buildup
of scar tissue inside the carpal tunnel leads to this problem. Treatment options
include splinting, anti-inflammatory agents, and surgery. The surgical release is
performed via a small incision using conventional surgery or a fiberoptic scope
(endoscopic carpal tunnel repair).
Common Misspellings: carpel tunnel release, korpral tunnel release
