Abstract
After an exact definition of the recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome, its treatment, as described in the literature, is presented. To cover the median nerve isolated from the extended scar tissue with a thin and well-circulated tissue, the author proposes and demonstrates the synovial flap. The follow-up of 27 cases operated since 1979 with a follow-up time between 1 month to 14 years shows 6 excellent, 16 good, 3 satisfactory and 2 bad results.
