If you are experiencing symptoms like tenderness, numbness, and tingling in your hand due to carpal tunnel syndrome, carpal tunnel decompression surgery could be a good option for you. Get in touch with us for a consultation.
Carpal Tunnel Surgery is the treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. This condition occurs when there is pressure exerted on the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist.
This pressure can cause the median nerve to swell and become inflamed, leading to symptoms like tenderness, numbness, and tingling in the hand. Once the pressure is released through surgery, the inflammation will subside and the symptoms will disappear.
The surgery typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes to complete and can be performed under local anaesthetic.
The best candidate for carpal tunnel decompression surgery is someone who is experiencing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome due to factors such as underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), diabetes, obesity, previous wrist fractures, frequent use of vibrating tools like operating heavy machinery, certain medications, or excessive computer use.

If your symptoms are mild, a wrist support worn at night often helps. A steroid injection near the carpal tunnel can reduce the numbness or pain in most people.
We perform all our treatments under local anaesthesia.
Following the procedure, you can go back to a desk job within 1 week. For any physical jobs, we advise you to take 2-3 weeks if your work entails heavy lifting or manual labour
Following the procedure, it is very natural to have some swelling and discomfort. This tends to fade in the first 2 weeks. You might have some stiffness lasting up to 1 month.
General complications can include pain, bleeding, infection of the surgical site (wound), and scarring. Specific complications can include numbness in your thumb, index, and middle fingers, tenderness of the scar, aching in your wrist, return of numbness and pain, and severe pain, stiffness, and loss of use of your hand (complex regional pain syndrome).
