In rare cases, a temporary worsening of nerve functions can occur after carpal tunnel surgery.<br \/>The inflammation or infection rate after the surgical therapy of the carpal tunnel syndrome is very low. Given signs of infection like pounding pain in the surgical area, reddening or festering of the wound, a doctor has to be consulted immediately. The best is to come to Beta Klinik instantly.<br \/>Theoretically, a damage of the median nerve during surgery is possible but has never occured in our practice. Extremely rare is the emergence of a sympathetic reflex dystrophy, also called complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).<\/p><p>A slow or missing recovery of the nerve is often due to a too late surgery. If the carpal tunnel syndrome has caused sensation disturbances a long time before surgery, sensation disturbances can also need a long time up to month to go away.

From surgery date, an active gymnastics of the affected hand is required. Patients have to clench their fists but also stretch their fingers completely several times an hour.<br \/>On first day after carpal tunnel surgery, the bandages are changed by the attending or the family doctor. Given surgery on Friday, cange of bandages is done the next day by the patient and his relatives, at least on Monday by the family doctor. Slowly, the hand can be increasingly strained. After 7-10 days, stitches are removed and washing hands and showering is possible without protective gloves. The hand can be regularly used for daily and most occupational activities after 2-3 weeks. A certain feeling of pain in the palm of the hand \u2013 the younger the patients the more often \u2013 has to be accepted.
