The most common symptoms include numbness and tingling in the hand and fingers, as well as pain that often worsens at night. In advanced cases, muscle weakness may develop.<\/p>\n<p>Common causes of carpal tunnel syndrome include repetitive hand movements, wrist trauma, pregnancy, and thyroid disorders. These factors increase pressure within the carpal tunnel in the wrist and disrupt the nerve\u2019s normal function. Early precautions are especially important for people in high-risk groups.<\/p>\n<p>Diagnosis is made through clinical examination and electromyography (EMG). Tinel\u2019s and Phalen\u2019s tests are frequently used during physical examination. EMG measures the nerve conduction speed to objectively determine the severity of compression.<\/p>\n<p>Treatment options include wrist splinting, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections. In more advanced cases, surgical decompression may be required to release the nerve. The treatment plan is individualized for each patient.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Things You Should Know<\/td>\n<td>Information<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Definition<\/td>\n<td>Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common nerve entrapment disorder, caused by compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel at the wrist.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Affected Nerve<\/td>\n<td>The median nerve affects the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and half of the ring finger.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Causes<\/td>\n<td>Repetitive wrist movements, prolonged computer use, working with vibrating tools, pregnancy, diabetes, hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Risk Factors<\/td>\n<td>Female sex (especially ages 40\u201360), pregnancy, wrist injuries, family history, obesity, diabetes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Symptoms<\/td>\n<td>Numbness and tingling in the hand and fingers (especially at night), hand weakness, dropping objects, wasting of the thumb muscles.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Diagnostic Methods<\/td>\n<td>Physical examination (Tinel\u2019s and Phalen\u2019s tests), electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies, ultrasound or MRI.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Treatment for Mild Cases<\/td>\n<td>Wrist splints, steroid injections, pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medications, activity modification.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Treatment for Advanced Cases<\/td>\n<td>Carpal tunnel surgery (decompression by cutting the ligament over the nerve).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Surgical Techniques<\/td>\n<td>Open carpal tunnel release, endoscopic carpal tunnel release (performed with smaller incisions).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Recovery After Surgery<\/td>\n<td>Improvement is usually seen within about 6 weeks;

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Carpal tunnel syndrome surgery is a procedure in which the ligament compressing the median nerve at the wrist is surgically released to reduce pressure on the nerve. It is generally performed in patients whose symptoms do not improve with medication, splinting, or physical therapy, and who have progressive numbness, weakness, or pain. The surgery can be performed using an open or endoscopic technique. The goal is to prevent nerve damage and improve hand function. Early surgery reduces the risk of permanent damage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Symptoms_of_Carpal_Tunnel_Syndrome\"><\/span>What Are the Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although symptoms vary from person to person, the story is usually quite similar. In the beginning, symptoms progress quietly and may appear only after days when you have used your hand a lot. Over time, they can become part of everyday life. As pressure on the nerve increases, the signals the nerve sends to the brain become \u201cconfused.\u201d This confusion may present as pain, burning, or complete numbness. The thumb, index finger, and middle finger are typically affected the most.<\/p>\n<p>The most common symptoms in more advanced stages include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Numbness that wakes you up at night<\/li>\n<li>Tingling at the fingertips<\/li>\n<li>A burning sensation in the palm<\/li>\n<li>Decreased hand dexterity<\/li>\n<li>A tendency to drop objects<\/li>\n<li>Weakness of the thumb muscles<\/li>\n<li>An \u201celectric shock\u201d sensation<\/li>\n<li>Pain radiating from the wrist up the arm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Night-time interruption of sleep is a particularly strong diagnostic clue. Patients often say, \u201cShaking my hand makes it better.\u201d This is known as the \u201cflick sign,\u201d and the movement temporarily increases blood flow to the compressed nerve, providing short-lived relief. As the condition progresses, even this shaking may stop helping. Symptoms then begin to appear during the day as well, especially during activities that keep the wrist flexed\u2014for example, holding a hair dryer, talking on the phone for a long time, or reading a book. A critical detail is that the little finger is usually not affected, because its sensation is supplied by a different nerve\u2014this helps pinpoint the exact source of the problem.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carpal_Tunnel_Anatomy_and_Causes_Why_Does_It_Happen\"><\/span>Carpal Tunnel Anatomy and Causes: Why Does It Happen?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Understanding the internal anatomy of the hand helps explain why this condition develops. On the palm side of the wrist, there is a canal formed by wrist bones at the bottom and covered by a tough ligament on top. This is the \u201ccarpal tunnel.\u201d You can think of it like a highway tunnel. Inside it pass nine tendons that move the fingers and the median nerve that supplies sensation to the hand. It is a rigid structure made of bone and a strong ligament and does not have room to expand.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, these structures glide over one another within the tunnel. But if the tunnel\u2019s volume is fixed while the contents swell, pressure rises. Imagine a crowded elevator with more and more people trying to squeeze in. When pressure increases, the most delicate structure\u2014the nerve\u2014gets compressed between tendons and bone. Nerve tissue is highly sensitive to pressure and reduced oxygen. When the tiny vessels that nourish the nerve are compressed, the nerve becomes \u201cshort of breath\u201d and its conduction slows.<\/p>\n<p>Risk factors that contribute to this increased pressure include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Genetic predisposition<\/li>\n<li>Repetitive wrist movements<\/li>\n<li>Computer use<\/li>\n<li>Pregnancy<\/li>\n<li>Diabetes<\/li>\n<li>Rheumatoid arthritis<\/li>\n<li>Thyroid disorders<\/li>\n<li>Obesity<\/li>\n<li>Wrist trauma<\/li>\n<li>Menopause<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In pregnancy, fluid retention and swelling can increase pressure inside the tunnel and lead to temporary carpal tunnel syndrome, which often improves after delivery. It is also frequently seen as an occupational condition: people who use keyboards, assembly-line workers, musicians, and those who use vibrating tools are at increased risk. Sometimes, however, no clear cause is found\u2014simply having a naturally narrow tunnel can be enough for the syndrome to develop.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-2066561262 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1662155612 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_243804225\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1779004613\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-505379791\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-color:rgb(33, 51, 96);border-radius:10px;border-width:2px 2px 2px 2px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row align-middle\"  id=\"row-304566563\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-65818654\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div id=\"text-2230586758\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\r\n\r\n<div><strong>Contact us to get information about treatments and create an appointment!<\/strong><\/div>\r\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-2230586758 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n  text-align: center;\n  color: #213360;\n}\n#text-2230586758 > * {\n  color: #213360;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-2230586758 {\n    text-align: left;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-815038859\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-right\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send\/?phone=905330852159\" class=\"button success\" style=\"border-radius:5px;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t<span>Contact via WhatsApp<\/span>\n\t<i class=\"icon-whatsapp\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-505379791 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 15px 0px 15px;\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-505379791 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 30px 20px 0px 20px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_243804225 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1702278213\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-68653998\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-566566092\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Might_a_Plastic_and_Aesthetic_Surgery_Specialist_Be_Preferred\"><\/span>Why Might a Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Specialist Be Preferred?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>From the outside, carpal tunnel surgery may look like a simple ligament-release procedure. In reality, it is much more nuanced. Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery is fundamentally built on tissue repair and an aesthetic approach. Hand surgery is one of the core and most intensively trained areas within plastic surgery. For us, the hand is not only a moving organ\u2014it is also a structure that feels, senses, and plays an important role in social interaction and appearance.<\/p>\n<p>A plastic surgeon\u2019s approach to carpal tunnel surgery is based on these principles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maximum tissue preservation<\/li>\n<li>Microsurgical precision<\/li>\n<li>Aesthetic incision planning<\/li>\n<li>Scar management<\/li>\n<li>Functional restoration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nerve tissue is extremely sensitive. A millimetric mistake can lead to irreversible sensory loss or painful neuromas. Plastic surgeons are trained to work under magnification (loupes or microscopes) and to protect delicate structures. While releasing the nerve, working without damaging nearby vessels, tendon sheaths, and\u2014most importantly\u2014the nerve itself is routine for us. In addition, the palm is one of the areas most prone to scarring and stiffness during healing. Hiding the incision in natural skin creases, using refined closure techniques, and preventing painful scar thickening are crucial. The goal is not only to relieve symptoms but also to ensure that, when you look at your hand, it is barely noticeable that you had surgery.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Methods_Are_Used_for_Diagnosis\"><\/span>Which Methods Are Used for Diagnosis?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Diagnosis starts with what the patient describes: which fingers are numb, when pain occurs, and how symptoms affect daily life. However, we also need objective evidence and must measure how much the nerve has been affected. During physical examination, we use specific maneuvers such as the Phalen test (bringing the wrists into flexion) and the Tinel test (tapping over the nerve to see if tingling occurs). The most definitive and objective data typically comes from EMG.<\/p>\n<p>EMG (electromyography) measures nerve conduction velocity. You can think of it like testing the integrity of an electrical cable. A mild electrical stimulus is applied, and we see how quickly and how strongly the signal reaches the target. If there is compression in the tunnel, conduction slows or the signal amplitude decreases.<\/p>\n<p>EMG provides information such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Whether nerve compression is present<\/li>\n<li>The severity of compression<\/li>\n<li>The type of nerve injury<\/li>\n<li>The risk of muscle wasting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Based on the EMG report, we classify the condition as mild, moderate, or severe. In mild stages, only sensory fibers show slowing; in severe cases, motor fibers that control muscles may also be affected. As plastic surgeons, we interpret EMG together with the clinical picture\u2014not just the report alone, but also the patient\u2019s hand function and how symptoms impact quality of life.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-566566092 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -45px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1702278213 {\n

id=\"What_Is_the_WALANT_Technique_and_What_Are_Modern_Surgical_Approaches\"><\/span>What Is the WALANT Technique and What Are Modern Surgical Approaches?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the past, carpal tunnel surgery was often performed under general anesthesia, with hospital admission and uncomfortable tourniquets that stopped blood flow to the arm. As medical and plastic surgery techniques advanced, the process became much more comfortable for patients. Today, a widely accepted \u201cgold standard\u201d approach in many practices is the WALANT technique.<\/p>\n<p>WALANT (Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet) means performing surgery while the patient is awake, under local anesthesia, without a tourniquet. This approach can greatly reduce surgical anxiety. The patient is fully awake and can talk with the surgical team or listen to music. Only the wrist area is numbed using a special solution. This solution typically includes both a local anesthetic and adrenaline, which temporarily constricts blood vessels. As a result, bleeding is minimal and the surgeon can work in a clear field.<\/p>\n<p>Advantages of WALANT include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No need for hospital admission<\/li>\n<li>No general anesthesia risks<\/li>\n<li>No tourniquet pain<\/li>\n<li>Intraoperative motion check<\/li>\n<li>Same-day discharge<\/li>\n<li>Less tissue trauma<\/li>\n<li>Faster recovery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of the most compelling aspects is that the success of the release can be confirmed immediately. After cutting the ligament compressing the nerve, the patient may be asked to move the fingers, allowing the surgeon to observe how structures glide more freely. The incision is typically a small \u201cmini-incision\u201d of about 2\u20133 cm, hidden within a natural crease of the palm\u2014helping both recovery and cosmetic outcome.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Recovery_Process_Like_After_Surgery\"><\/span>What Is the Recovery Process Like After Surgery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many patients are surprised by how fast and relatively comfortable the recovery can be after carpal tunnel release. With WALANT, you can usually go home immediately after the procedure. There is no bulky cast; typically, only a dressing and a light bandage cover the incision.<\/p>\n<p>Key steps during recovery include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Starting finger movements right away<\/li>\n<li>Keeping the hand elevated (at heart level)<\/li>\n<li>Keeping the wound dry<\/li>\n<li>Suture removal<\/li>\n<li>Scar massage<\/li>\n<li>Returning to normal activities<\/li>\n<li>Strengthening exercises<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One essential rule: move your fingers early. Older advice to \u201cnot use the hand at all\u201d is no longer recommended. Finger motion helps prevent adhesions and supports tendon gliding. Mild soreness can occur after anesthesia wears off, but it is usually controlled with simple painkillers. Sutures are typically removed around 12\u201314 days. After that, patients are often advised to massage the scar with silicone-based products to soften and fade it.<\/p>\n<p>Office workers may resume keyboard use in about 3\u20134 days, while people who do heavy manual work often need 3\u20134 weeks to return at full capacity. Some patients may experience \u201cpillar pain,\u201d tenderness on the sides of the palm due to changes in load distribution after ligament release\u2014this typically improves over time.<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"text-4032234156\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-4032234156 {\n  font-size: 1.25rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"accordion\">\n\t<div id=\"accordion-718283370\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-718283370-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-which-occupations-are-more-likely-to-develop-carpal-tunnel-syndrome?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-718283370-content\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>Which occupations are more likely to develop carpal tunnel syndrome?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-718283370-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-718283370-label\">\n\t\t\t\n<p>Carpal tunnel syndrome is more common in jobs that involve intensive wrist and hand use.
