Ultrasound-guided percutaneous carpal tunnel release

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous carpal tunnel release ("Carpal Tunnel Hydrodissection") is an innovative and minimally invasive procedure designed to treat carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition that causes pain, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. This technique offers an effective solution to relieve symptoms and restore functionality to the affected limb. without the need for surgery..

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, becomes compressed due to inflammation or factors such as overuse, trauma, or medical conditions. Symptoms include pain, tingling, and weakness, which can interfere with daily activities and quality of life.

What is Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Release?

This procedure involves a small "puncture" in the skin, through which a needle is placed inside the carpal tunnel, guided by ultrasound. A high volume of fluid is then instilled to "widen the carpal tunnel" and "release" the median nerve, relieving pressure around the nerve. Ultrasound is used to guide the physician during the procedure, ensuring precise targeting of the compression and minimising the risk of injury to adjacent structures.

Benefits
  • Precision and Safety: The use of ultrasound allows real-time visualisation of the area being treated, increasing the precision of the intervention and reducing the risk of complications.
  • Minimally Invasive: This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and does not require large incisions, resulting in less pain, fewer scars, and a faster recovery time.
  • Quick Results: Many patients report significant improvement in symptoms shortly after the procedure, allowing for a quicker return to their normal activities.
Who can benefit?

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous carpal tunnel release is recommended for patients with persistent symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome who have not found relief with conservative treatments.
