Carpal Tunnel Syndrome-Standard CTR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video explains the process of carpal tunnel release surgery. The incision is made on the ulnar side of the thenar crease to avoid the palmer cutaneous branch of the median nerve and allow healing away from the nerve. The location of the V between the hypothenar and thenar muscles indicates the termination of the carpal ligament release. The surgery is performed slowly, ensuring distance from the median nerve. The proximal part of the ligament is released with the wrist in a slightly flexed position. Everything is done under direct vision, and the procedure is aimed at avoiding complications.
