Endoscopic carpal tunnel release
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1992We have performed 149 consecutive one-portal and 152 consecutive two-portal endoscopic carpal tunnel release operations. Average time to cessation of preoperative symptoms was 15 days in both the one-portal and two-portal groups. The average time of return to work was 16 days in the one-portal group and 17 days in the two-portal group. The complication

Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
CSurgeries, 2016Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) was first described by Sir James Paget in 1854. Today, it is recognized as the most common upper extremity compressive neuropathy, occurring under the transverse carpal ligament of the wrist and causing median nerve symptoms. The compression can be idiopathic or can result from trauma or systemic illness.

Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
World Neurosurgery, 2013arpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is currently the most common type of compression neuropathy, affecting C approximately 1% of the general population (2, 6). CTS results from compression of the median nerve at the level of the wrist. Diagnosis is determined on the basis of clinical symptoms, confirmed with electrophysiological studies.

Anthropometry and Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1999A prospective study was performed in 100 consecutive endoscopic carpal tunnel releases (ECTR) to assess the effect of a number of anthropometric measures on the ease of introduction of the ECTR system into the carpal tunnel. Ease of access to the carpal tunnel correlated with the wrist circumference, height and age of patients.

Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1997We report our experience over a 30 month period of endoscopic release of the carpal tunnel by the Chow two-portal technique. The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the long-term subjective results of surgery and to assess if any iatrogenic nerve injury had been caused by the endoscopic procedure.

Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1995Endoscopic carpal tunnel release is a technically demanding and precise procedure, but one that can be mastered to the benefit of our patients. Once mastered, the rewards of shorter operating times, reduced postoperative pain, earlier return to activities of daily living and employment, and more satisfied patients can be realized.

Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
2007The aspects of various techniques for endoscopic carpal tunnel release, including the Chow technique, the Japanese technique, and the Agee technique, are reviewed. Anesthesia, portal placement, and ligament cutting techniques are considered. Clinical results, complications, and long-term outcomes of the Chow technique are summarized.

Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
AORN Journal, 1993Endoscopic carpal tunnel decompression is a new and effective way of relieving CTS. It shortens the recovery period and the length of time required to resume normal postoperative activity. The majority of our patients have experienced relief of symptoms and, in instances where the opposite hand was affected by CTS, have returned for that hand to be ...

Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release
2017While open carpal tunnel release provides excellent relief of median nerve compression, many patients complain of tenderness at the proximal palm incision for months after surgery. For over 25 years, endoscopic techniques have been available that move the incision off of the proximal palm to avoid or decrease this pillar pain. Proximal, distal, and two-

Single-Portal Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release: Agee Carpal Tunnel Release System
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1996This single-group prospective cohort study was conducted to define the efficacy and safety of single-portal endoscopic carpal tunnel release using the redesigned carpal tunnel release system (3M Healthcare, St Paul, MN). Eighty-six procedures in 69 patients were evaluated by objective motor/sensory testing and clinical outcome questionnaire at 10 days,
