If you are suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, relief is now available in Marsh Harbour, Bahamas. Our endoscopic carpal tunnel release clinics offer advanced and minimally invasive procedures to treat this common hand condition. In this article, we will explore the benefits of endoscopic carpal tunnel release, the procedure itself, and why Marsh Harbour is the ideal location for this innovative treatment.
The Benefits of Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release is a surgical technique that involves making small incisions on the wrist and using a tiny camera called an endoscope to guide the surgeon. This procedure offers several advantages over traditional open surgery:
1. Minimal scarring: The small incisions used in endoscopic carpal tunnel release result in minimal scarring compared to open surgery.
2. Faster recovery: Patients who undergo endoscopic carpal tunnel release generally experience less post-operative pain and can resume their regular activities sooner.
3. Lower risk of complications: The precision of endoscopic surgery reduces the risk of nerve damage and other complications.
The Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release Procedure
The endoscopic carpal tunnel release procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. The steps involved in the procedure are as follows:
1. Small incisions: The surgeon makes one or two small incisions near the wrist.
2. Endoscope insertion: An endoscope, which is a thin tube with a camera, is inserted through one of the incisions to visualize the carpal tunnel.
3. Release of the carpal ligament: Specialized instruments are used to identify and release the carpal ligament, relieving pressure on the median nerve.
4. Incision closure: The incisions are closed with sutures, and a bandage is applied.
