  1. Is Carpal tunnel surgery necessary ? “How quickly shall I recover after undergoing carpal tunnel surgery operation ?” This is the most frequent question being asked by the patient . This is the most difficult question to answer as it depends upon the severity of the carpal tunnel syndrome. An average person begins to recover within two weeks of its surgery. The severe group exhibits more prolonged recovery. Carpal tunnel surgery has become the mainstay for CTS treatment since 1950s. Its main objective is to convert the carpal tunnel into carpal trench efficiently by cutting down the transverse carpal ligament.

  2. There are few surgeons who are of the opinion that patients suffering from the carpal tunnel syndrome will require the carpal tunnel surgery at some point in near future. After long study it has been suggested that it is the best idea to wait for the six months after diagnosis before undergoing the surgical operation unless there are critical situations to operate.
