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).
While most cases of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome are caused by repetitive work which involves bending the wrists, it can also be caused by arthritis, certain diseases (lupus being one of the most common), and wrist injuries. Treatment for CTS varies from wearing a splint while you work to surgery.
