Information about the procedure

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?

A common condition caused by nerve compression in the wrist area – this is compression of the median nerve (nervus medianus) in the carpal tunnel. The disorder manifests itself as tingling, pain, nocturnal seizures and decreased sensation in the first three fingers and part of the fourth. In the long term, it can lead to muscle wasting in the thumb and loss of fine motor skills. Surgical carpal tunnel release is a quick and effective way to prevent permanent nerve damage.
