SALLES BETANCOURT, Guido Román et al. Mini-approach in the carpal tunnel surgery . Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2012, vol.26, n.1, pp.28-39. ISSN 0864-215X.

Introduction: different techniques have been used to opening of the carpal transverse ligament including the surgical, endoscopy and the mini-approach. Objective: to show the results surgery with mini-approach using one and two incisions. Methods: a prospective study was conducted in168 patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. In a group (n= 90) by transverse incision of 1 cm proximal to carpal transverse ligament and in the other (n= 78) were necessary two incisions, one transverse proximal to carpal transverse ligament and the other distal to it. Results: the postoperative assessment at 7 days in operated on using one incision was of 0 in 57 of 90, with two incisions was of 0 in 40 of 78. The patient's satisfaction after one month of surgery using one incision were satisfied 88 of 90, partial satisfaction 2 of 90; two incisions, satisfied 72 of 78 and a partial satisfaction in 5 of 78. A whole incorporation to daily activities was achieved at a postoperative week, one partial incision 80 of 90 and a total of 10 of 90; with two incisions, partial 65 of 78. Tue complications included 6 with both methods one leading and other slight with one incision and 4 slights with two incisions. Conclusions: surgery for opening of carpal transverse ligament by means using the proposed mini-approaches allow the obtaining of results similar to that endoscopy during the first weeks and higher those obtained by open surgery with a low rate of complications.
