There are 2 types of carpal tunnel release surgery. The traditional method is the open release, in which the surgeon cuts open the wrist to do the surgery. The other method is endoscopic carpal tunnel release, in which a thin, flexible tube that contains a camera is put into the wrist through a tiny incision (cut).
The optimal method of treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome is simple corrective stretches and exercises. The vast majority of patients do quite well with conservative treatment and it is estimated that less than 1/4 require surgical intervention.
