Carpel Tunnel Release in Turkey
Carpal tunnel release is a surgery used to treat and potentially heal the painful condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s most likely a congenital predisposition (something that runs in families) – some people simply have smaller carpal tunnels than others. Carpal tunnel syndrome can also be caused by injury, such as a sprain or fracture, or repetitive use of a vibrating tool. It’s also been linked to pregnancy, diabetes, thyroid disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms,
- Burning, tingling, or itching numbness in your palm and thumb or your index and middle fingers
- Weakness in your hand and trouble holding things
- Shock-like feelings that move into your fingers
- Tingling that moves up into your arm
During the course of surgery, the surgeon opens the carpal tunnel release with large 1 to 2 inch incision and is more than likely to administer local anesthesia to the patient. After the procedure you may have to wear a brace for a few weeks, which will stabilize your wrist table while it is healing. You would be able to return to your normal activities after the course of the surgery.
