A surgical procedure to
relieve 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).
