What causes carpal tunnel syndrome?

It is caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist, often due to repetitive hand movements, wrist injuries, or medical conditions like arthritis and diabetes.

Is surgery the only solution?

No. Mild cases can be managed with splints, physiotherapy, and corticosteroid injections. Surgery is recommended only when symptoms persist beyond 6 months or worsen despite treatment.

Will I feel pain during the surgery?

No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel any pain. Some discomfort may persist for 2 - 3 days after surgery, which is managed with medication.

How long before I can use my hand normally?

Light activities can be resumed within 3 - 5 days, and full functional recovery typically takes 4 - 6 weeks, depending on the surgical technique.

Is endoscopic surgery safer than open surgery?

Endoscopic surgery is equally safe with smaller incisions, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring, but the best option depends on your specific case.

Can carpal tunnel syndrome come back after surgery?

Recurrence is rare when the ligament is properly released. Maintaining good ergonomics and hand posture helps prevent recurrence.

Will I need physiotherapy after surgery?

Yes. A short physiotherapy program helps restore hand strength, flexibility, and coordination, accelerating your full recovery.

Is it covered by insurance?

Yes. Carpal tunnel surgery is covered under most health insurance plans in India, including cashless policies. Our team handles all paperwork and pre-authorisation for you.

How it Works

Your Carpal Tunnel Surgery Journey at Even Hospitals

Step 1

Consultation & Diagnosis

After consultation & nerve conduction tests, your doctor evaluates the severity of your carpal tunnel syndrome and recommends the right procedure.

Step 2

Carpal Tunnel Procedure

Local anaesthesia is given, and the transverse carpal ligament is released endoscopically or through a small incision. The procedure usually takes 15 - 30 minutes.

Step 3

Post-Surgery Care

Patients are monitored post-surgery; most patients go home the same day with light bandaging.

Step 4

Recovery & Follow-Up

Endoscopic surgery patients recover in 1 - 2 weeks, while open surgery patients take 2 - 4 weeks of healing.

Advanced Carpal Tunnel Surgeries We Offer

Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release

Endoscopic carpal tunnel release uses a small camera and specialised instruments inserted through tiny incisions to release the compressed median nerve. The procedure is highly precise and provides rapid recovery with minimal scarring and pain.

15 - 30 minute procedure
Recovery in 1 - 2 weeks

Open Carpal Tunnel Release

Open carpal tunnel release involves a small incision at the base of the palm to access and release the tight ligament pressing on the median nerve. This traditional approach is ideal for severe cases or those with anatomical variations needing direct visualisation.

20 - 30 minute procedure
Recovery in 2 - 4 weeks
