Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery

Carpal tunnel release takes the pressure off the median nerve at the wrist by cutting the tough band of tissue that roofs the tunnel the nerve passes through. This code describes the open operation, done through a small incision in the palm. It is an outpatient procedure and most people go home within a couple of hours.
