Carpal Tunnel Release Ultrasound Guided - Local Anesthesia is available through Mark Cuban Companies Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release under local anesthesia is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to alleviate symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. During the procedure, ultrasound imaging is employed to guide the surgeon in making a small incision in the palm of the hand. This incision allows for precise release of the transverse carpal ligament, which relieves pressure on the median nerve, thus reducing symptoms like numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure, which is typically performed on an outpatient basis. This approach offers benefits such as reduced postoperative pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery performed under general anesthesia.
