Carpal Tunnel Surgery has a success rate that is lower than we find with most modern surgical procedures. Patients report a 55% success rate. Since Carpal Tunnel is caused by excess inflammation which gets trapped in the Carpal Tunnel Space, surgery does not make a lot of sense. There is nothing structurally wrong in the hand and wrist. In the procedure, Surgeons severe a ligament that is perfectly fine, and hope it scars back together without complication. There are better ways of mitigating trapped inflammation. In general, we as a Medical Team at First Hand Medical concur that Surgery is too aggressive a step for dealing with trapped inflammation in the Carpal Tunnel Space.
