Carpal Tunnel Surgery in Thomasville, NC

As a common and irritating condition that affects men and women across the US, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can restrict your daily and working life. Coley Cosmetic & Hand Surgery Center offers Carpal Tunnel Surgery to residents of Thomasville, NC.

A typical Carpal Tunnel Surgery candidate will experience moderate to severe symptoms associated with the condition. The majority of candidates will have experienced numbness or tingling in their forearm for at least six months. As a relatively simple procedure, it involves opening the wrist to cut the carpal ligament. By doing this, your surgeon can alleviate the pressure on the median nerve that has been causing you to feel numbness and tingling, as well as pain. Once the surgery has completed, you will notice the painful symptoms subside immediately. It may take slightly longer for feelings of numbness and tingling to subside, however.

Prior to your surgery, your surgeon will administer a local anesthetic. If you are feeling particularly nervous, you may also be given a sedative to help you relax. During the surgery, you will either be placed on a special chair or lie down. Your surgeon may apply a tourniquet to the top of your arm, which will be used to control blood flow during the procedure. If your surgeon chooses to perform open Carpal Tunnel Surgery, an incision around 3 to 4cm long will be made near the base of your palm. In keyhole Carpal Tunnel Surgery, two smaller incisions are made; one inside your wrist, and the other on the palm of your hand. A telescopic camera will then be used to guide the surgery.

It is normal to experience a little pain afterwards, but it can be controlled with painkillers. You may need to wear a sling for up to a week, and within 10 to 14 days, your stitches will either be removed, or they will have dissolved.
