Endoscopic technique of carpal tunnel release is widely accepted as successful and safe as long as the surgeon is well-trained. Compared to the traditional open technique, there exists a steep learning curve for familiarisation of equipment, training of hand-eye coordination and appreciating tactile feedback. The available literature and manuals do not illustrate the practical challenges encountered during the procedure. We describe a guide for single-portal technique under local anesthesia, including surgical planning, cautions, and troubleshooting processes based on our experience with 136 cases in Asian hands which is known to be smaller.
只要外科医生训练有素,内镜下腕管松解术就被广泛认为是成功且安全的。与传统的开放技术相比,在熟悉设备、训练手眼协调以及领会触觉反馈方面存在陡峭的学习曲线。现有的文献和手册并未阐明该手术过程中遇到的实际挑战。我们基于对136例亚洲人较小手部病例的经验,描述了一种局部麻醉下单门户技术的指南,包括手术规划、注意事项以及故障排除过程。
