What it is
Carpal tunnel release cuts the ligament across the palm side of the wrist to take pressure off the median nerve. It is done for numbness, tingling and weakness in the hand that do not improve with splints or injections.
What the price covers
The facility price usually covers the operating or procedure room and recovery. The surgeon and any anesthesia or sedation are billed separately.
