Peripheral Nerve Surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Los Angeles

Get permanent relief from the most advanced, innovative surgical solution for carpal tunnel syndrome.

WHAT IS Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition caused by pressure on the median nerve, which is a major nerve that runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand through a narrow passage called the carpal tunnel. This nerve controls sensation and motor function in much of the hand, except for the pinky finger.

When the median nerve becomes compressed due to repetitive motion, inflammation, or anatomical narrowing, it can result in tingling, numbness, weakness, and hand pain. Symptoms often begin gradually and can worsen over time, leading to difficulty with fine motor tasks, grip strength, and even sleep disruption.

At Yashar Neurosurgery, Dr. Parham Yashar offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, including surgical release for carpal tunnel in Los Angeles when conservative measures are no longer effective.

How to Prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

While not all cases of carpal tunnel syndrome are preventable, you can reduce your risk and protect your hands and wrists with smart daily habits:

Take Frequent Breaks

Pause repetitive activities every 30 to 60 minutes to stretch and move your hands and wrists.

Maintain Good Form

Avoid bending your wrists forcefully or for long periods. Use ergonomic tools and correct posture.

Use a Comfortable Mouse or Keyboard

Choose equipment that keeps your wrist in a neutral position and reduces strain.

Keep Your Hands Warm

Cold muscles are stiffer and more injury-prone. Use gloves or hand warmers when needed.

Avoid Repetitive Stress

Vary your tasks when possible and avoid excessive pressure from gripping tools or lifting heavy objects improperly.

When Is Peripheral Nerve Surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Recommended?

Dr. Yashar may recommend surgery if:
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness persists despite rest, bracing, or medications
  • Nerve conduction studies show significant median nerve compression
  • Symptoms interfere with daily life or sleep
  • Muscle wasting (atrophy) in the thumb develops
  • Conservative treatment has failed over six to 12 weeks
Conditions commonly treated by the best carpal tunnel release surgeon in Los Angeles include:
  • Classic carpal tunnel syndrome with sensory and motor symptoms
  • Persistent or recurrent carpal tunnel after previous treatment
  • Median nerve compression related to repetitive work, pregnancy, arthritis, or diabetes
  • Carpal tunnel due to anatomical variation or wrist trauma

What to Expect During
Peripheral Nerve Surgery for Carpal Tunnel

Dr. Yashar performs carpal tunnel release in Los Angeles as a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. It’s designed to relieve pressure on the median nerve by releasing the tight ligament that forms the top of the carpal tunnel. Here’s what to expect:
Recovery and Outcomes

Most patients experience significant improvement in hand function and symptom relief within days to weeks of surgery. Dr. Yashar provides personalized post-operative care and rehabilitation guidance to ensure the best outcomes. Recovery milestones include:

  • Light hand use within one to two days
  • Return to desk work within a week
  • Full recovery in four to six weeks for most patients
  • Long-term resolution of pain, tingling, and grip weakness
Anesthesia

Local anesthesia with mild sedation is typically used, allowing a fast and comfortable recovery.

Surgical Release

A small incision is made at the wrist (open technique) or in the palm (endoscopic technique). Dr. Yashar uses advanced microsurgical tools to cut the transverse carpal ligament and decompress the nerve.

Closure and Recovery

The incision is closed with sutures or surgical glue. The entire procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes, and patients go home the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs About Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Surgery

Does carpal tunnel always require surgery?

No. Many cases respond well to conservative treatment such as bracing, anti-inflammatory medications, and activity modification. Surgery is only recommended if symptoms persist or worsen.

Is the surgery painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort with local anesthesia and report a surprisingly easy recovery.

Will I regain full strength in my hand?

In most cases, yes, especially if surgery is done by the best carpal tunnel surgeon in Los Angeles before severe nerve damage occurs. The sooner you address worsening symptoms, the better the outcome.

What are the risks of carpal tunnel surgery?

Risks are low, but may include infection, bleeding, nerve irritation, or incomplete relief. Dr. Yashar’s microsurgical expertise helps minimize these risks and ensures precision.
