Dr Banarji B H Patents Revolutionary Device for Minimally Invasive Carpal Tunnel Surgery
Dr Banarji B H has received a patent for his invention, the “Device and Apparatus for Arthroscopic Carpal Tunnel Release.” This new device represents a major advancement in orthopaedic surgery, offering a minimally invasive way to treat carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). CTS is the most common type of focal mononeuropathy and accounts for a significant number of neuropathy cases. This innovative tool is set to transform the procedure, providing a better alternative to traditional open surgery.
About Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The carpal wrist is an opening in your wrist. Most importantly, this is formed with carpal bones located on the bottom of the wrist and the transverse carpal ligament found across the top of the wrist. The median nerve is passed through the carpal tunnel that provides individuals with sensory and motor functions to their thumb, index, and middle finger. In case the median nerve that is passed through the carpal tunnel is suppressed, the person may face some severe symptoms. The condition may get worse if left untreated for a longer time.
Some common symptoms that signify carpal tunnel syndrome are numbness, tingling pain, weakness in the thumb, and tenderness in the hand. Arthroscopic surgery becomes vital when non-operative treatment methods do not respond positively to cure symptoms.
Advantages of Arthroscopic Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery
Arthroscopic Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery offers several advantages, including the use of a small incision, making it a minimally invasive procedure. This results in no visible scar on the palmar aspect of the hand, eliminating the risk of scar tenderness and making it cosmetically more appealing. Additionally, patients typically experience faster recovery and a shorter hospital stay compared to traditional methods.
