Carpal Tunnel Surgery
This is a procedure to relieve or reduce the symptoms of median nerve compression in the wrist.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist. It can result in pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. In many cases, the condition can improve with nonsurgical treatments, but sometimes surgery is needed to relieve the pressure on the nerve.
