ProcedureCarpal Tunnel Release
PROCEDURE
The goal in all Carpal Tunnel Surgeries is to relieve the pressure on the nerve. How is this done? This is achieved by surgically relieving the pressure off of the nerve, and creating room for the nerve to live in without further compression.
Sounds simple doesn’t it?? But not all surgical procedures are alike:
There are several ways to do surgery to relieve pressure in the carpal tunnel and on the nerve , which is a good thing. These different techniques boil down to one of two categories:
- An open approach
- A minimally invasive endoscopic approach
Conditions treated:
HOW IS IT DONE
In this surgery, a 3-5 cm incision is made at the bottom part of the palm and five layers of tissue must be cut in order to access and decompress the nerve.
In this approach, on the way to the carpal tunnel:
- the skin is opened
- then the subcutaneous tissue is cut and separated
- the aponeurosis of the hand is cut open
- the muscles of the palm are transected
- finally the ligament forming the roof of the carpal tunnel is released
In this surgery a less than 1 cm incision is made at the palm, and only ONE other structure is cut with the aid of a very small camera connected to a screen.
This is called a MINIMALLY INVASIVE surgery because we achieve the same effect ( of relieving the pressure on the nerve) but with minimal damage to all the other tissues of the hand.
The end result is that by avoiding the longer incision, and by not cutting and damaging the other structures in the hand, patients experience significantly less post-op pain and heal up to FOUR TIMES FASTER!!!

WHY DON’T ALL SURGEONS OFFER ECTR?
The answer is quite simple: firstly: This endoscopic technique represents the finest, most skilled approach that takes special training to master, and secondly: specialized instruments and cameras and monitors are required that not all institutions, administrators, or surgeons are ready to invest in
But Dr Durand’s belief is unshakable: Only the best is good enough for my patients, and that is why I have been practicing this technique on satisfied patients for over 25 years!!!!
RESULTS
The end result is that by avoiding the longer incision, and by not cutting and damaging the other structures in the hand, patients experience significantly less post-op pain and heal up to FOUR TIMES FASTER!!!
Patients who have had endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery typically return to daily activities within 10 days, compared to open technique patients which are much more uncomfortable after surgery and can take up to 12-15 weeks of healing.
