Summary
Introduction:
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common entrapment neuropathy. It is a cause of serious decrease of quality of life with considerable socioeconomic impact. Treatment of choice in moderate and severe carpal tunnel syndrome is surgery.
Methods:
Surgical results of 96 consecutive patients after 129 operations were analyzed. Procedure was performed under local anaesthesia with classic open technique. Objective and subjective symptoms were examined at one-year follow-up.
Results:
Neither neural, nor vascular injury occurred in our series. 3% of patients had superficial wound infection with no need for revision surgery. Over 95% of patients show permanent improvement of subjective complaints.
Conclusion:
Open carpal tunnel release is a golden standard in surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome with high success rate and minimum complications. Overall satisfaction with procedure is more than 97%.
Keywords:
