Abstract
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release is not a procedure to be taken lightly. Like many surgical procedures, it is a demanding exercise that requires exacting knowledge of the anatomy of the hand, attention to detail, and the ability to manipulate three-dimensional objects while observing them in two dimensions on a video screen. In the hands of well trained surgeons, ECTR provides patients with a safe, predictable solution to their carpal tunnel sydrome that will allow them a rapid return to normal activities with minimal postoperative discomfort.
