Surgical Procedure

Carpal Tunnel Decompression

Carpal tunnel decompression surgery aims to release the pressure on the median nerve in the hand.

This relives the symptoms experienced by the patients from carpal tunnel syndrome.

Under local anaesthetic and with a tourniqet on the arm (to reduce blood flow in the hand) a small cut is made on the wrist and the tight compressive ligament causes the pressure is released.

Stitches and a bulky hand bandage are then applied.

The final cost is determined on a case by case basis dependent on complexity and the combination of any other additional procedures.

A full surgical no-commitment consultation with Dr Rory will provide all the necessary details for your particular case.
