Carpal Tunnel Topography During Endoscopic Decompression

Abstract: The safety of the endoscopic technique for carpal tunnel release remains a major concern. Serious complications such as division nerves, tendons or vessels may occur. In this study the topography of the carpal tunnel was studied in fresh cadaver hands after the introduction of the blade assembly of a one portal system. By using a plastination method, it was possible to study the in situ relationships in detail by serial cross sections. Furthermore a modified Spalteholz method allowed the position of the blade … Show more

“…However, Kiritsis compared open transection vs. endoscopic release and found no statistical difference between each procedure in terms of outcomes 108 . Furthermore, complications have been observed after endoscopic release, including transection of the median nerve, tendon lesions, and reversible nerve problems 109–111 . Alternatively, Netscher et al.…”

“…Analysiert man die Berichte aus Kliniken, welche schwere Komplikationen, insbesondere Blutungskomplikationen beschreiben, handelt es sich zumeist um geringe Fallzahlen pro Operateur oder eine Einführung des Verfahrens im "learning by doing". Die Methode sollte möglichst im Rahmen einer speziellen Schulung erlernt werden und in einer größeren Zahl operativer Sitzungen von dem erfahrenen Operateur auf den Neueinsteiger weitergegeben werden[7,15,18]. Hiermit haben wir in unserem Institut ausgezeichnete Erfahrungen gemacht und konnten Komplikationen durch eine Lernkurve komplett (!)…”
