Minimally Invasive Carpal Tunnel Surgery in Lexington, KY
Lexington Carpal Tunnel Surgeons
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) can significantly impact your daily life, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the hands and wrists. At Bluegrass Orthopaedics, we specialize in offering advanced treatment options, including minimally invasive Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery.
This procedure is designed to relieve pressure on the median nerve, alleviate symptoms, and allow you to return to your daily activities with minimal recovery time.
What is Minimally Invasive Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery?
Minimally invasive Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery is a modern approach to treating CTS to reduce recovery time and minimize scarring. This procedure involves making a small incision in the wrist or palm, through which the surgeon carefully cuts the ligament, compressing the median nerve. By releasing this pressure, the nerve can heal, and symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling are effectively reduced. Unlike traditional open surgery, the minimally invasive technique uses smaller incisions and advanced tools to limit tissue disruption, resulting in quicker recovery and less discomfort.
Who is a Candidate for Minimally Invasive Carpal Tunnel Surgery?
What are the Benefits of Minimally Invasive Carpal Tunnel Surgery?
Minimally Invasive Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery offers several advantages over traditional open surgery. One of the main benefits is a faster recovery time, allowing you to return to work and normal activities sooner. The smaller incision reduces scarring and lessens the risk of infection, promoting quicker healing and a more aesthetically pleasing result. Patients also experience less postoperative pain and swelling compared to the open procedure. The minimally invasive technique preserves more of the surrounding tissues, contributing to improved long-term hand function.

You have CTS treatment options...
Using real-time ultrasound guidance, carpal tunnel release (CTR) can be performed in a clinic setting and offers a recovery time you can measure in days, not months. Find out if CTR with ultrasound guidance is right for you.
Benefits of CTR with ultrasound guidance:
There's a proven way to get rapid relief from carpal tunnel pain and return quickly to normal activities. Thanks to a low-profile, safe, and effective instrument called UltraGuideCTR™ — and real-time ultrasound guidance — Dr. Marwin can perform CTR in his clinic using one small wrist incision. Afterwards, you’ll be able to resume activities as tolerated. And most patients can return to work and the activities they love within 3 to 6 days.
What to expect:
Most patients are pleasantly surprised at how simple carpal tunnel release is with UltraGuideCTR™ and real-time ultrasound guidance.
As an outpatient procedure, you will have minimal preparation requirements and your visit to the clinic should be less than 2 hours. Dr. Marwin will provide you with post-procedure care information, and then you’re on your way. Yes, it’s really that easy!
Expected cost:
Carpal tunnel release is generally covered by commercial insurance and Medicare. Patient payment responsibility will vary based upon your benefit plan established by your insurance carrier and the “site of service” of the procedure. Check with your insurance carrier and care provider – prior to any medical services – to verify your financial responsibility.
