Is it too late for surgery if numbness is already present?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, it is <\/span><b>not too late<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Surgery is necessary when numbness (sensory deficits) is present and indicates persistent compression. The surgery aims to prevent these deficits from becoming permanent. However: <\/span><b>The longer the deafness persists, the lower the chance of a full recovery.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of sensitivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. When should carpal tunnel syndrome be operated on if I am diabetic?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In diabetics, the indication for surgery should often be <\/span><b>earlier<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The diagnosis is made. Diabetes further damages the nerves (neuropathy). Superimposed mechanical compression from carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can, in combination with diabetes, lead more quickly to irreversible damage. Therefore, in diabetic patients, if conservative therapy fails, intervention is not delayed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. What happens if I wait despite the indication for surgery?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you wait despite a clear indication for surgery (e.g., muscle atrophy, permanent numbness), you risk\u2026 <\/span><b>irreversible damage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the median nerve. The muscle atrophy will progress, and the numbness will be permanent. Even a later operation cannot reverse this. <\/span><b>permanent damage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> then often cannot be completely fixed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. What is nerve conduction velocity testing and when should carpal tunnel syndrome be operated on based on this?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) testing is a neurological examination that measures how quickly and strongly the median nerve transmits signals. <\/span><b>significant slowdown of the NLG<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is an objective sign of nerve damage and supports the decision for surgery, especially when clinical symptoms are severe. In cases of very severe nerve conduction velocity (NCV) changes, surgery is almost always necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. When should carpal tunnel syndrome be operated on if the symptoms are severe at night?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the symptoms <\/span><b>exclusively at night<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If this occurs, the first step should be to... <\/span><b>Night rail<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The brace should be worn consistently for at least 6 weeks. Surgery should only be considered if nighttime symptoms persist or worsen despite correct splinting. Nighttime symptoms alone, without failure of conservative therapy, do not warrant surgery. <\/span><b>no immediate indication for surgery<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Can I have both hands operated on at the same time?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is generally not recommended to operate on both hands simultaneously, as you need both hands for everyday tasks. Usually, the hand with the more severe symptoms is operated on first. After this hand has largely recovered (approximately 4 to 6 weeks), the second hand can be operated on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Can the operation be repeated?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The operation can be repeated in rare cases (revision surgery) if the carpal ligament closes again with scar tissue or if the nerve is compressed again for other reasons (e.g., scarring, tumors). Revision surgery is technically more demanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4480 size-full\"
