Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs due to compression of the median nerve in the narrow carpal tunnel. The goal of treatment is to relieve pressure on the nerve and improve its function. If conservative treatment is unsuccessful, we recommend surgery. The goal of the procedure is permanent nerve release and restoration of arm function.
At Juventini, we use a minimally invasive technique with a short incision, in which:
Before the procedure, we perform a thorough examination and diagnosis to confirm the diagnosis and determine the degree of stenosis.
As needed, we include:
Before surgery, we recommend:
During surgery under local or regional anesthesia, after a prior consultation and planning, a small incision is made under the wrist crease to expose the cutaneous nerve branches and the transverse carpal ligament. The ligament is then severed, releasing the median nerve and motor branches. Precise hemostasis (stopping bleeding) is performed, followed by skin sutures. After the surgery, a bandage and a sling are applied.
The process usually proceeds in the following steps:
In the Juventus poseg, we use a minimally invasive technique, which allows for:
After surgery, minimal pain, swelling, a pulling sensation, and altered skin sensitivity may be present at the surgical incision site. These symptoms usually disappear for the most part after approximately 3 weeks. Burning pain and tingling typically improve immediately after surgery. The sense of touch returns in most patients within a few weeks to months (depending on the degree of impingement).
After surgery, the following may be present:
It is important to know:
In the first few weeks after the procedure:
You can begin gentle finger exercises a few hours after the operation – make a fist 10 times in a row every hour. We recommend suture removal after 10-14 days. Keep your hand elevated above heart level until the sutures are removed (use an arm sling or prop your arm up). After suture removal, we recommend physiotherapy and scar care.
In advanced cases (muscle atrophy), complete recovery of function is not always possible – which is why prompt treatment is crucial. With an additional program Juventina Care 360° We enable comprehensive pre-operative preparation, fast and effective recovery, and advanced therapies for better outcomes.
Juventina Care 360° includes:
