Carpal Tunnel Release

Carpal tunnel syndrome presents as a feeling of numbness or tingling in your hand, especially at night. It is caused by pressure on the median nerve as it runs through a tunnel of bone and ligament in your wrist. Surgery to relieve carpal tunnel syndrome involves making an incision (cut) from the middle of the palm of your hand to your wrist. Tissue that is pressing on the nerve is then cut to release the pressure.
