Although open carpal tunnel release is the gold standard surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, endoscopic and mini-open procedures produce better results.
Surgeons in Istanbul, Turkey, operated on 78 hands of 62 patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. Most of these operations were open (n=51, 65 percent). A quarter were endoscopic (n=19 (24.4 percent) and a tenth were mini-open procedures (n=8, 10.3 percent).
Follow-up times were eight to 46 (mean 25) months. Patients were evaluated for resolution of the symptoms within three weeks of the operations and until they returned to normal daily activities.
