Purpose: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (KTS) results and surgical techniques of patients applied with mini-open method relief were evaluated. Tools and Methods: Cause of KTS and mini open (transversal carpal ligament distal mini palm cut) surgery between April 2005 and March 2010 and 38 patients (34 women, 4 men; average age 54; distribution 36-69) were examined backward by 46 handhelds. Patients after surgery were monitored for an average of 48.2 months (distribution 27-86 months). The pain and functional assessments of patients were performed using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the Boston scale. Patients were also assessed in terms of complications. Results: A statistically significant improvement was provided in the Boston scale and the visual pain scale compared to the previous surgery (p<0.05). After the relaxation of the mini open carpal tunnel, a patient has a sensitivity on the scratch tissue, while a patient has a common digital nerve cut during the surgery and has been primarily repaid. Patients returned to their daily activities in the second week. A recurrence occurred followed by conservative treatment. No secondary surgery was performed in any patient. The result: While successful clinical results are obtained in the surgical treatment of the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, the appearance of less sharp tissue and sensitivity on the mini-open post-chirurgical cut is a preferable method because patients can return to their daily activities earlier.
