Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery Pune
At Sancheti Hospital, we perform carpal tunnel release surgery to relieve wrist pain, restore grip strength, and prevent nerve damage.
What is Carpal Tunnel Release?
Carpal tunnel release surgery is a procedure performed to relieve pressure on the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Compression of this nerve leads to carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition that causes numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the hand and fingers.
During surgery, the transverse carpal ligament is cut to enlarge the tunnel and reduce pressure on the nerve. Depending on the severity and the patient’s needs, surgeons may recommend:
- Open carpal tunnel release surgery – performed through a small incision in the palm.
- Endoscopic carpal tunnel release surgery – a minimally invasive option using a small camera.
- Bilateral carpal tunnel release surgery – done on both hands when symptoms affect both wrists.
Benefits of Carpal Tunnel Release
- Significant relief from pain, tingling, and numbness.
- Improved hand grip and strength.
- Restored ability to perform daily tasks and professional activities.
- Minimally invasive options available with faster recovery.
- Permanent solution for severe or persistent carpal tunnel syndrome.
Limitations and Disadvantages
- Some soreness and stiffness in the wrist may persist temporarily.
- Recovery may take several weeks, depending on the surgical method.
- Rare risks include infection, incomplete symptom relief, or nerve injury.
- Strength and sensation may take time to return fully.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recovery time after carpal tunnel release surgery?
Most patients return to light activities within 2–3 weeks. Full recovery for grip strength and hand function may take 6–12 weeks.
Is endoscopic carpal tunnel release surgery better than open surgery?
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release surgery usually offers smaller scars and quicker recovery. However, open carpal tunnel release surgery is equally effective and may be recommended in complex cases.
Can both hands be treated at the same time?
Yes, if both wrists are affected, surgeons may suggest bilateral carpal tunnel release surgery. In some cases, surgeries may be staged for easier rehabilitation.
Will my symptoms go away immediately after surgery?
Numbness and tingling often improve quickly, but full recovery of strength and sensation may take several weeks or months.
Is physiotherapy necessary after carpal tunnel release?
Yes, physiotherapy helps restore hand mobility, grip, and prevents stiffness, speeding up recovery.
Are there any risks with carpal tunnel release surgery?
Complications are rare but can include infection, stiffness, or incomplete symptom relief. Choosing an expert hand surgeon reduces these risks.
How do I know if I need surgery?
If symptoms persist despite rest, splinting, or medications, your doctor may recommend carpal tunnel release surgery for long-term relief.
Can carpal tunnel syndrome come back after surgery?
Recurrence is rare, but maintaining healthy wrist ergonomics and avoiding repetitive strain helps prevent future issues.
