Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction (MicroTESE)

WHAT IS MICROSURGICAL TESTICULAR SPERM EXTRACTION (MICROTESE)?

Carpal tunnel surgery is an operation to relieve the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by cutting a ligament in your wrist. The ligament runs across the top of your wrist bones and creates a narrow channel in your wrist. This channel is called the carpal tunnel and inside it are tendons and the median nerve, which controls some of the movement in your hand. In CTS, swelling inside the wrist puts pressure on the median nerve. This causes symptoms such as pain or aching in the hand, fingers, and forearm. Other symptoms include pins and needles, a tingling sensation, numbness in the fingers and a weakened grip. By cutting through the ligament, the pressure is released and the symptoms often go away. There is no single cause for CTS but you’re more at risk of getting it if you:

– Are overweight
– Are pregnant
– Have a job that requires you to repeatedly bend your wrist or grip objects tightly
– Have another condition that can cause water retention eg diabetes or obesity
– Have arthritis Have previously fractured or dislocated your wrist

You’re also at greater risk of CTS if your family members have it. Sometimes CTS gets better on its own after a few months. If it doesn’t, there’s a risk that your median nerve could be permanently damaged. Your doctor may suggest carpal tunnel surgery, but usually only after you’ve tried other non-surgical treatments.

NON-SURGICAL CARPAL TUNNEL TREATMENTS

Non-surgical treatments for CTS include:

– Applying cold packs
– Performing yoga and wrist exercises (eg wrist extension, wrist flexion, wrist lift, median nerve glide and hand squeezes) to strengthen your wrist muscles — conversely, exercises that overextend your wrist should be avoided
– Shaking your hand vigorously Steroid injections to reduce inflammation — steroid injections can usually only be given two times in a year
– Taking anti-inflammatory painkillers to reduce inflammation Wearing wrist splints at night to keep your wrist in a neutral position

Lifestyle changes may also improve your condition, such as taking breaks regularly to rest your hands and avoiding activities that worsen your symptoms. If you also have arthritis, specifically gout and rheumatoid arthritis, treating these conditions can reduce the swelling and pain caused by your CTS. If these non-surgical treatments do not work and your CTS symptoms are affecting your daily life or interrupting your sleep, your doctor may then recommend carpal tunnel surgery. This surgery has a high success rate in reducing the painful symptoms of CTS and improving quality of life. Your doctor will help you decide if surgery is likely to benefit you.
