Abstract
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release in an effective method to relieve compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel. The effectiveness in terms of relief of symptoms is comparable to the effectiveness of open carpal tunnel release. When performed correctly the procedure is reliably safe, but there are numerous procedural details that must be attended to in order to perform the procedure safely and effectively. Those procedural details are outlined in the following chapter. The risk of a significant complication is higher than that associated with an open carpal tunnel release due to the more limited visualization. When performed without a complication, endoscopic carpal tunnel release is better tolerated than an open procedure due to decreased wound pain and earlier return to full activities.
