Carpal tunnel release surgery involves cutting the transverse carpal ligament to relieve pressure on the median nerve.
Overview
Carpal tunnel is a condition where the median nerve is compressed as it passes through a narrow spot in the wrist called the carpal tunnel. It can be extremely painful and interfere with day-to-day life. Carpal tunnel release surgery is an outpatient procedure where the carpal tunnel is enlarged, allowing for more space and relieving pressure on the median nerve.
