Carpal tunnel release surgery is a short, well-established procedure that relieves pressure on the median nerve at the wrist — the nerve responsible for sensation and movement in the thumb and first three fingers. It is recommended when carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms persist despite conservative measures such as splinting, steroid injections, or activity modification, or when nerve testing shows significant compression. The surgeon divides the transverse carpal ligament, the tough band forming the roof of the carpal tunnel, which immediately enlarges the space and allows the nerve to recover. The procedure is almost always performed as a day-care operation under local or regional anaesthesia, and most people notice improvement in night-time symptoms within days. Two main approaches exist — open release and endoscopic release — with similar long-term outcomes.
The ligament is divided through a small palm incision under direct vision — the most widely performed approach worldwide with an excellent long-term track record.

The ligament is cut from inside the tunnel using a tiny camera passed through one or two small wrist incisions, typically allowing less scar tenderness and a slightly faster return to activities.
