What is Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery
Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery is a procedure that relieves pressure on the median nerve inside the wrist. This nerve passes through the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway in the wrist. Swelling in this area can compress the nerve, causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand. The surgery involves cutting the ligament that’s pressing on the nerve to restore normal function and relieve discomfort. It is a safe, effective treatment for moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome.
