Open Median Nerve Release Using Double Mini Skin Incision in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Technique and Clinical Results

Abstract: Patients who undergo open carpal tunnel surgery frequently complain of the postoperative cosmetic appearance at the site of the incision on the palm. This problem occurs as a result of excessive scar formation, and the long incision. A double mini skin incision, each 1 cm long, was used in the surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. The transverse carpal ligament was easily sectioned. Postoperatively healing was good with no excessive scar formation.

“…Approximately 1% of the general population is affected by CTS. 3,10,25) The diagnosis of CTS can be established easily based on the patient's history and physical examination, and confirmed by electrophysiological testing. Conservative therapy may be helpful in some patients with CTS, but most patients ultimately require surgery.…”

“…[1] History, physical examination, electromyography, and nerve conduction velocity measurements are essential for the diagnosis. [3] Open carpal tunnel release has been widely used as a surgical alternative for patients who are resistant to the conservative treatments. However, although its effectiveness has been recognized, open carpal tunnel release has been associated with problems such as hypertrophic scarring, scar tenderness and delayed rehabilitation.…”

“…Cerrahi sonrası uzun dönem sonuçlarına bakıldığında %70-90 arası başarılı sonuçlar elde edilmiştir (24). Literatürde cerrahi tedavi için açık, mini açık ve endoskopik yöntemler tarif edilmiş olup bu yöntemler karşılaştırılmıştır (11,12). Transvers karpal ligamentin gevşetilmesi ve karpal tünelin dekompresyonu ile birçok hasta klinik olarak iyileşse de bazı hastaların yakınması devam etmektedir (12).…”
