Median neuropathy refers to the compression or irritation of the median nerve, commonly known as carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel decompression surgery, also called carpal tunnel release, is a procedure that relieves the pressure on the median nerve by the transverse ligament at the level of the wrist. This ligament can thicken which leads to compression of the median nerve and results in pain, numbness and tingling in the hands and fingers which can become worse at night.
Cubital tunnel syndrome is a condition caused by compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow, resulting in pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the hand and fingers. Ulnar neurolysis surgery is a procedure performed to release the compression on the ulnar nerve. This involves freeing the nerve from surrounding structures and creating space to alleviate symptoms and restore normal nerve function.
Peripheral nerve lesion resection is a surgical procedure performed to remove abnormal or damaged nerve tissue. It is commonly used to diagnose and treat conditions such as schwannomas, which are benign tumours that develop from Schwann cells that surround the nerves. The surgery involves excising the affected portion of the nerve to alleviate symptoms and restore nerve function.
