| Abstract | ||
| The carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the most common peripheral neuropathies and is caused by the compression of the median nerve at the wrist region. The aim of this study was to analyze the results of patients who were operated by using 1.5 cm palmer skin incision. (228) carpal tunnel release operations were performed on (181) patients. These patients were assessed pre and postoperatively using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Visual Analog Patient Satisfaction Scale (VAPSS) [1]. The (1.5) cm palmer skin incision technique for carpal tunnel release is a safe and effective surgical procedure. It can be used in the surgical treatment of CTS to achieve better cosmetic results and to reduce the complications of other standard techniques. | ||
