Conventional open carpal tunnel release effectively relieves symptoms, but involves pain and fairly long recovery time. A relatively new technique of endoscopic carpal tunnel release as described by Chow has been carried out on 20 hands in 16 patients. The endoscopic approach allows earlier return to normal activities with less postoperative pain than conventional or open release.
传统的开放性腕管松解术能有效缓解症状，但会带来疼痛且恢复时间较长。Chow所描述的一种相对较新的内镜下腕管松解技术已在16例患者的20只手上实施。与传统或开放性松解术相比，内镜入路能使患者更早恢复正常活动，且术后疼痛更少。
