Beschreibungen/Notizen

• There is still controversy when deciding the “gold standard” surgical technique for surgical carpal tunnel syndrome. Traditionally, open surgical release has proven excellent clinical results with a very low incidence of complications and acceptable postoperative recovery time. Nonetheless, the endoscopic technique has proven to achieve equal excellent clinical results as open carpal tunnel release with the advantage of an accelerated postoperative recovery and patient satisfaction. It is still in debate whether the observed higher incidence of transient neurapraxia experienced in the endoscopic surgical release is a decisive factor to avoid this procedure or if it is an acceptable risk.
