Frequently asked questions
Carpal Tunnel Release
What is Carpal Tunnel Release?
Carpal Tunnel Release (CTR) is a surgical procedure aimed at alleviating the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by releasing pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. CTS occurs when the carpal tunnel, a narrow passageway in the wrist, becomes compressed, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.
What are the advantages of Carpal Tunnel Release?
Carpal tunnel release offers several advantages for individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome. Foremost, it provides relief from symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Post-surgery, patients often experience improved hand function, making daily activities more manageable. The procedure can prevent further damage to the median nerve, potentially averting long-term complications. With a typically quick recovery, many patients can resume light activities within days or weeks. Additionally, some carpal tunnel release surgeries utilise minimally invasive techniques, resulting in smaller incisions, less scarring, and faster recovery times. These factors collectively make carpal tunnel release an effective and efficient solution for addressing carpal tunnel syndrome.
What are the potential risks?
Carpal tunnel release surgery is generally considered safe, but it carries some risks, including infection, scarring, nerve or blood vessel injury, or incomplete relief of symptoms. Anesthesia-related risks may also be present. It's crucial to follow post-operative instructions and attend follow-up appointments to minimise these risks.
What happens after?
Recovery following carpal tunnel release is often rapid and associated with significant symptom relief. Patients can typically return to light activities and work within a few days to weeks, depending on their occupation. Physical therapy may be recommended to improve hand strength and function.

Our procedures
At Get Well Soon we specialise in elective procedures. Elective surgery is different from urgent or emergency surgery, where the patient’s life might be in danger.
However, we understand that for many patients, these conditions
can often be debilitating and painful.
Elective procedures are often the sort of operations that the NHS are unable to prioritise, so seeing a doctor privately may be the only way you can have your
condition treated quickly.
