Treatment to relieve pressure and pain in your wrist.
At Spire Hull and East Riding Hospital, we carry out carpal tunnel release surgery using clinically proven techniques. The procedure eases the pain and numbness in your hand caused by carpal tunnel syndrome.
To relieve pressure on your median nerve, your surgeon will cut the ligament that runs across the front of your wrist bones. Pressure on the median nerve is caused by swelling inside your wrist and causes carpal tunnel syndrome.

Our consultants typically offer open release surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. During surgery, your consultant will make an incision (cut) so they can see inside your wrist and cut the transverse carpal ligament. If your surgeon thinks it’s right for you, they may offer a minimally invasive technique.
