ObjectiveTo evaluate the results and complications from surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome by means of an open route, using a local anesthesia technique comprising use of a solution of lidocaine, epinephrine and sodium bicarbonate.Material and methodsThis was a cohort study conducted through evaluating the medical files of 16 patients who underwent open surgery to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, with use of local anesthesia consisting of 20 mL of 1% lidocaine, adrenaline at 1:100,000 and 2 mL of sodium bicarbonate. The DASH scores before the operation and six months after the operation were evaluated. Comparisons were made regarding the intensity of pain at the time of applying the anesthetic and during the surgical procedure, and in relation to other types of procedure.ResultsThe DASH score improved from 65.17 to 16.53 six months after the operation (p < 0.01). In relation to the anesthesia, 75% of the patients reported that this technique was better than or the same as venous puncture and 81% reported that it was better than a dental procedure. Intraoperative pain occurred in two cases. There were no occurrences of ischemia.ConclusionUse of local anesthesia for surgically treating carpal tunnel syndrome is effective for performing the procedure and for the final result.

Materiais e métodos: Estudo de coorte, por meio da avaliação dos prontuários de 16 pacientes submetidos a cirurgia aberta para STC com emprego de anestesia local com 20 mL de lidocaína 1%, adrenalina 1:100.000 e 2 mL de bicarbonato de sódio. Avaliação do escore DASH no pré e pós-operatório de seis meses e comparação da intensidade da dor durante o ato anestésico, durante a cirurgia e em relação a outros tipos de procedimentos. Resultados: O escore DASH melhorou de 65,17 para 16,53 no pós-operatório de seis meses (p < 0,01). Em relação à anestesia, 75% dos pacientes relataram que essa técnica é melhor ou igual a uma punção venosa e 81% relataram que é melhor do que um procedimento dentário. Em dois casos ocorreu dor no intraoperatório. Não ocorreram isquemias. Conclusão: O emprego de anestesia local para o tratamento cirúrgico da síndrome do túnel do carpo é eficaz para o procedimento e para o resultado final. © 2015 Sociedade Brasileira de Ortopedia e Traumatologia.
