We people while working or doing some other
activities we generally feel numbness or pain or tingling in the hands. This is
quite common but when it becomes unbearable and those tinkling effects seems to
be present for the long time these conditions are called Carpel Tunnel
Syndrome.
At the starting stages it can be cured by Wrist
braces or by using corticosteroids but at the severe conditions there comes the
Carpel
Tunnel Surgery. Carpel Tunnel Syndrome is mainly
caused due to the pressure to the median nerve this is why we get tingling
feeling in all the other finger except the pinky finger.
There are two types of carpel tunnel release
surgery: Open and Endoscopic
Surgery. During this surgery doctors generally cuts the
ligaments around the carpel tunnel to release the pressure and after the
surgery the ligament generally seems to grow off.
In case of open surgery surgeons generally makes the
cut or incision but whereas in the Endoscopic Surgery only a small hole is
found to be made in the wrist this shows the recent advancement in surgery. In
Endoscopic Surgery the cuts are usually smaller so that the tiny camera are usually placed at the end so
that it will guide the doctors in cutting through the ligaments. This makes the surgeon
to conduct the operation easier.
