Carpal tunnel surgery is a procedure in which the tissue around the wrist is cut to help relieve pressure on the median nerve. There are two different types of this carpal tunnel release surgery: open release and endoscopic. After undergoing carpal tunnel surgery, most people have successful results that include substantial pain relief and prevention of further damage to the hand or wrist.
