Abstract
Objective: Mini skin incision technique for median nerve release have become popular recently for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. The main advantages of this technique are shorter recovery time and better cosmetic results. Neurovascular injury still remains controversial. We presented the advantages, disadvantages and results of transverse mini skin incision technique to release carpal tunnel syndrome. Method: 62 carpal tunnel releasing procedures were performed.52 female and 10 male patients with mean age of 62 (ranging from 38 to 82) included in this study. All patients were operated by using transverse mini skin incision technique. Results: Significant improvement was observed in symptoms and signs during the postoperative follow-up period. No recurrence or injury to the neurovascular structures was noted. Conclusions: The technique is simple and effective. Without using expensive instruments better cosmetic results and better recovery time can be achieved.
