Abstract
Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the results of patients underwent surgical release with mini open surgical method due to Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and the surgical technique. Methods: 50 wrists of the 42 patients that we could reach after they were applied mini open surgical method between 2009- 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. After surgery, patients were followed for an average 47.4 months. CTS was detected in 26 of the patients in right hand, in 10 of the patients in left hand and in seven of them bilaterally. In 27 Preoperative patients advanced in 21 intermediate and in 2 mild Electromyography (EMG) findings compliant with CTS were found. Results: We did not apply a second operation to any of our patients. None of the patients showed any post operative sensitivity on scar tissue and there was no neurovascular damage in any patients during the surgery. The patients returned to their daily activities average on the 10th day after the surgery [range 7-15 days]. In their follow up EMG was not done on a routine basis to the patients. Patients were followed clinically. Conclusion: The advantages of the surgery process we conducted with over pillar mini incision compared to other techniques that there is less pillar region pain and less scar tenderness, shorter return to work and the technique is efficient, cheap and easy to apply. Key words: Carpal tunnel, mini open, pillar
