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).
For more severe cases of carpal tunnel syndrome, surgery is usually the method of treatment. The goal of the surgery is to release the transverse carpal ligament which relieves pressure on the median nerve that causes the numbness.
