A Minimally Invasive Solution for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release to alleviate Wrist Pain with Dr. Daniel Durand
If you suffer from persistent tingling, numbness, or pain in your hand and wrist, you may have carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. This pressure can make everyday tasks difficult, whether typing on a keyboard or grasping objects. Dr. Daniel Durand offers endoscopic carpal tunnel release, a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce pressure on the nerve. It provides lasting relief and a faster recovery than traditional surgery.
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
The carpal tunnel is a small, narrow passage in the wrist that houses the median nerve and tendons. Over time, repetitive movements, wrist injuries or even certain illnesses such as arthritis can compress this canal and pressure the nerve. Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome usually start with tingling or numbness in the thumb, index and middle fingers and can progress to hand weakness and pain that sometimes extends up the arm.
Why Consider Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release?
Unlike traditional open surgery, endoscopic carpal tunnel release is a minimally invasive procedure that requires only a small incision. Dr Durand uses a tiny camera, or endoscope, to see inside the wrist and release the carpal ligament, relieving pressure on the nerve. This approach minimizes tissue disruption, which means less pain after the operation, a smaller scar and a much quicker recovery. This is an excellent option if you want to return to work or your regular activities as soon as possible.
What to Expect During the Procedure
This operation is performed on an outpatient basis so that you can go home the same day. Under local anesthetic, Dr. Durand makes a small incision in the wrist and uses the endoscope to visualize the carpal tunnel. He frees the ligament that presses on the median nerve using precision tools. The operation generally lasts between 15 and 30 minutes and requires only a small dressing.
Quick Recovery and Lasting Relief
One of the main advantages of endoscopic carpal tunnel release is the recovery speed. You’ll probably be able to use your hand smoothly within a few days, and most patients return to regular activity within a few weeks. Many patients experience relief of symptoms almost immediately, with full recovery as healing progresses.
