Carpal Tunnel Release
Carpal Tunnel Release is a surgical procedure designed to relieve pressure on the median nerve, which passes through the wrist's carpal tunnel and controls sensation and movement in the hand. This condition, known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, occurs when the median nerve is compressed, often due to repetitive hand movements, wrist strain, or certain medical conditions. For patients suffering from persistent numbness, tingling, or pain in their hands, Dr. Sushil Nahar, a skilled plastic surgeon, performs Carpal Tunnel Release to alleviate symptoms and restore hand functionality.
The Carpal Tunnel Release procedure involves making a small incision in the wrist or palm to access the transverse carpal ligament, which is then cut to release pressure on the median nerve. This technique allows the ligament to gradually heal and create additional space in the tunnel, reducing nerve compression. Dr. Nahar employs both open and minimally invasive endoscopic techniques, choosing the approach best suited to each patient's unique condition. With years of experience in delicate hand procedures, Dr. Sushil Nahar ensures the treatment minimizes trauma to surrounding tissues and promotes faster recovery.
Dr. Sushil Nahar works closely with patients to ensure they are well-informed about the benefits and potential risks of surgery. His compassionate and meticulous approach has helped many patients overcome Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, regaining their hand function, comfort, and quality of life.
