Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the results of carpal tunnel syndrome surgery using a small incision along the palmar at Viet Duc Hospital. The prospective study method described cross-sectional cross-sections on 42 patients with 72 hands at Viet Duc Hospital from January 2023 to September 2023. All patients are examined periodically after surgery: clinical symptom assessment and on neuromuscular electrogram. Postoperative assessment according to the Boston scale, which helped to statistically significantly improve the severity of symptoms from 3.41 points to 1.69 points and hand function from 2.75 points to 1.12 points at 6 months postoperatively; as well as statistically significant improvement in the latent motor time of the median nerve from 2.82 ms to 1.29 ms and the middle hyposensory latent from 1.95 to 0.79 at 6 months postoperatively. Carpal tunnel syndrome surgery with a small incision along the palmar is a safe method, with good results and low complication rates.
