Do you have problems with carpal tunnel syndrome? Take advantage of the short appointment slots at the Premier Clinic plastic surgery clinic.
In carpal tunnel syndrome, the tendons connecting the muscles and bones in the hand swell. Typical symptoms include loss of sensation in the fingers, tingling, burning, and numbness at night, and later, increasingly severe pain may develop. Do not postpone treatment or the surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. Thanks to the surgery, you will be able to function normally again.
Carpal tunnel syndrome can arise, for example, after a wrist injury, inflammation of tendons and ligaments, but an increasingly common cause is chronic overuse of the wrist due to poor ergonomics while working on a computer. The at-risk group also includes people who work with vibrating tools – such as jackhammers, grinders, compactors, chainsaws, pneumatic hammers, etc. Untreated carpal tunnel syndrome can thus pose a problem not only from a health perspective but also economically. For example, a full-time graphic designer with carpal tunnel syndrome will have difficulty performing their job, which is why it is important to address symptoms at the very beginning. If an individual does not rest their hand during the initial symptoms, which first manifest in individual fingers – the thumb, index finger, and middle finger, the problem may develop and surgery will be necessary.

The release of the compressed nerve is most commonly performed using the so-called open technique, resulting in a larger or smaller scar on the palm. Classic carpal tunnel surgery is performed under local anesthesia, during which the operating physician makes a longitudinal incision in the palm to cut the transverse ligament in the wrist, thereby releasing the structures present in the carpal canal, including the compressed nerve. The surgery lasts about 30 minutes, and significant relief from pain can be expected within 1 to 2 days.
