Carpal tunnel surgery is a procedural treatment to relieve pressure on the median nerve and tendons in the carpal tunnel of the wrist. This condition, known as carpal tunnel syndrome, causes pain, numbness, and tingling sensations in the hand and fingers. During the procedure, the surgeon creates more space within the tunnel by cutting the transverse carpal ligament, relieving pressure on the nerve and allowing it to function properly.
