The purpose of this study is to describe one type of surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, namely endoscopic carpal tunnel release.
One hundred forty-six (146) cases of median nerve compression underwent the same-day procedure.
Eighty-six percent (86%) were favorable, and 14% unfavorable. There was no damage caused to nerves, vascular structures, or tendons.
Although overall long-term results of endoscopic carpal tunnel release appear similar to those of open release, patients who undergo endoscopic carpal tunnel release demonstrate a quicker functional recovery, less postoperative pain, and less scarring than open carpal tunnel release patients.
本研究的目的是描述腕管综合征的一种手术治疗方式，即内镜下腕管松解术。
146例正中神经受压患者接受了当日手术。
86%的患者预后良好，14%的患者预后不佳。未对神经、血管结构或肌腱造成损伤。
尽管内镜下腕管松解术的总体长期效果似乎与开放松解术相似，但与接受开放腕管松解术的患者相比，接受内镜下腕管松解术的患者功能恢复更快，术后疼痛更少，疤痕也更少。
