Surgery, either open or endoscopic is a way to treat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. A meta-analysis supports the conclusion that endoscopic carpal tunnel release is favored over the open carpal tunnel release in terms of a reduction in scar tenderness and increase in grip and pinch strength at a 12-week follow-up [4]
Nerve-sparing surgery is a type of surgery that attempts to save the nerves near the tissues being removed. [ 1 ] It is commonly applied in radical retropubic prostatectomy , a surgical treatment for prostate cancer, in which damage to nerves during surgery can lead to complications including urinary incontinence and impotence .
