Micro Invasive Carpal Tunnel Release
Micro Invasive Carpal Tunnel Release utilises the most advanced and modern image-guided techniques available. This minimally invasive procedure is a walk-in/walk-out process with rapid recovery and very little down time.
We are now consulting in both Melbourne and regional Victoria.

“Unlike traditional Carpal Tunnel surgery, this modern, scalpel-free technique offers a micro-invasive approach, lowering risk and recovery time.”
The Procedure
The micro-invasive procedure involves gently releasing the transverse ligament in the carpal tunnel, using a special tool guided by modern imaging technology. This technique causes very little harm to the surrounding tissue and gently releases the pressure on the median nerve in the wrist which causes the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. No stitches are required and the procedure is performed as a walk-in / walk-out service with no general anaesthetic needed.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome affects around 3-6% of the adult population in Australia. It is more common in certain occupational groups, such as those who perform repetitive hand movements or work with vibrating tools. Additionally, it tends to be more prevalent among women, particularly during pregnancy and menopause. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome arises as a nerve entrapment condition resulting from the compression of the median nerve at the wrist. This crucial nerve travels through a tight channel known as the carpal tunnel where the forearm meets the hand. The compression often leads to discomfort, tingling, and altered sensations in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and the side of the ring finger closest to the thumb.

-
The minimal pain experienced after the procedure often requires fewer analgesics, allowing you to avoid excessive medication usage.
-
Our micro-invasive approach significantly lowers the risk of postoperative infection, ensuring a smoother recovery process.

As opposed to traditional surgery, our precise and minimally invasive technique results in zero scarring on the skin. This preserves the aesthetics of your hand and wrist and results in a rapid return to full function.
“Our doctors lead in Carpal Tunnel treatment, attracting patients from across the country for our minimally invasive techniques. We're passionate about helping patients quickly regain full function and improve quality of life.”
Our Approach
The Micro Invasive Carpal Tunnel Release involves working with the ligament that forms the roof of the carpal tunnel in the wrist, compressing the median nerve and causing symptoms in the hand. Gently dividing the ligament allows more room for the median nerve and the tendons to pass through the tunnel, releasing the pressure on the nerve and improving pain and function. It is performed under local anaesthetic, with the aid of the most up to date ultrasound image guidance. Unlike traditional carpal tunnel surgery, the micro invasive technique has minimal impacts on skin and surrounding structures, with fast recovery and return to function.
