Introduction: Median nerve compression is the most common nerve entrapment syndrome. After carpal tunnel release, patients often complain about the scar cosmetic appearance. Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the clinical outcome, surgical technique and complications of mini-open carpal release. Methods: We reviewed data from 48 surgical procedures for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in 32 patients at the Pinheiros Neurologicaland Neurosurgical Clinic in the period of 2000 and 2008. The mean age was 49 years-old. We used a 2 cm incision and microscopic technique to obtain meticulous access of the palmar hand anatomy with special attention to both the recurrent motor branch and palmar cutaneous nerve. Results: Twenty-two patients had total resolution of symptoms. Two patients had no change of neurological symptoms. During the follow up no infection or neurological deficits were observed. Conclusion: Mini-open is a safe and effective approach for carpal tunnel syndrome release. However detailed palmar hand anatomy is mandatory to prevent lesion of branching palmar nerve. The use of microscope is desirable to help identify important structures and avoid complications.

Mini-open carpal tunnel release has been the focus of recent attention for surgical decompression of carpal tunnel syndrome. Other techniques such as standard open carpal tunnel release and endoscopic release have been well established, and outcomes, complications and results for these operations have been published widely. Our study uses the validated Levine Katz questionnaire for carpal tunnel syndrome to measure patient subjective outcomes at one year follow-up after mini-open carpal tunnel release. Thirty-four consecutive hands were enrolled prospectively with preoperative and postoperative questionnaires. Mean symptom severity scores per question improved from 2.8 to 1.3 and mean function severity scores per question improved from 2.6 to 1.3. Comparing our data to the historical cohort of Levine et al., there was a statistically significant improvement in postoperative outcomes in our population (p < 0.0001).

Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common compression neuropathy in clinical practice and is also the most extensively studied. In Mini-open carpal tunnel release, the transverse carpal ligament is transected using a small open cut at the volar aspect of the proximal palm. The objectives of this study were to determine the functional outcome of mini-open carpal tunnel release procedure, to use the Boston Questionnaire to determine the functional outcome following mini open carpal tunnel release which includes pain, numbness, weakness and fine hand activities. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional was conducted in National After informed consent, the cases who meet the informed criteria were examined and relevant details were filled up in the proforma preoperatively and two weeks post-operatively. Assessment of the patient’s symptom severity and functional status was done with the Boston questionnaire. Results: CTS was most common in the age group of 25-29 years (36.36%) and was predominant in housewives (18.20%). Mean symptom severity scores per person improved from 3.11 pre-operatively to 1.12 post-operatively. Mean functional status scores per person improved from 2.65 pre-operatively to 1.03 post-operatively. There was a statistically significant improvement in postoperative outcomes in our population. Conclusions: The findings in this study indicate that mini-open carpal tunnel release has a good functional outcome. Keywords: carpal tunnel syndrome; compression neuropathy; transverse carpal ligament.
