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).
Anesthesia for Carpal Tunnel Surgery There are two anesthesia options for patients undergoing carpal tunnel release. The first option is local anesthesia, which is the same type of anesthesia you may have received at the dentist's office.
