Abstract

Objective: Clinical results and surgical technique were evaluated in patients whom underwent miniopen surgery due to the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Material and Methods: 46 wrists of the 38 patients whom underwent mini-open surgery (mini-palmar incision distal to the transverse carpal ligament) because of CTS between April 2005 - March 2010 were evaluated retrospectively. Patients were followed-up for an average of 48,2 months (range 27-86 months). Patients were clinically and functionally evaluated with Boston's scale and visual analog scale (VAS). Also complications were assessed.Results: A statistically significant improvement (p<0.05) was detected in Boston scale and visual analogue scale compared with preoperative assessment. One of the patients complaint of sensitivity over the scar of incision, iatrogenic common nerve injury was repaired during surgery. Patients were returned to their daily activities during the second week. Conservative treatment was followed with a case of recurrence. We did not perform any revision surgery. Conclusion: Successful clinical results are obtained in surgical treatment of the carpal tunnel syndrome, however minimal invasive surgery can be preferred because of the decreased complication rates like sensititvity of the scare tissue, tenderness and earlier return to daily.

Özet

Amaç: Karpal Tünel Sendromu (KTS) nedeniyle mini açık yöntemle cerrahi gevşetme uygulanan hastaların sonuçları ve cerrahi teknik değerlendirildi.Gereç ve Yöntem: KTS nedeni ile Nisan 2005 - Mart 2010 tarihleri arasında mini açık (transvers karpal bağın distalinden mini palmar kesi) cerrahi tedavi uygulanıp sonrasında ulaşılabilen 38 hastanın 46 el bileği geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Cerrahi sonrası hastalar ortalama 48.2 ay (dağılım 27-86 ay) izlendi. Hastaların ağrı ve fonksiyonel değerlendirmeleri vizüel analog skala (VAS) ve Boston skalası kullanılarak yapıldı. Ayrıca hastalar komplikasyonlar açısından değerlendirilildi. Bulgular: Boston skalası ve vizüel ağrı skalasında ameliyat öncesine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzelme sağlandı (p<0.05). Mini açık karpal tünel gevşetmesi sonrası bir hastada skar dokusu üzerinde hassasiyet görülürken, bir hastada ameliyat esnasında common digital sinir kesisi oluşmuş ve primer olarak tamir edilmişti. Hastaların ikinci haftada günlük aktivitelerine geri döndüğü görüldü. Rekürrens saptanan bir olgu konservatif tedavi ile takip edildi. Hiçbir hastada ikincil bir operasyon yapılmadı.Sonuç: Karpal tünel sendromunun cerrahi tedavisinde başarılı klinik sonuçlar alınmakla birlikte, mini açık cerrahi sonrası kesi üzerinde daha az skar dokusu ve hassasiyet görülmesi, hastaların daha erken günlük aktivitelerine geri dönebilmeleri nedeniyle mini açık cerrahi tercih edilebilir bir yöntemdir.
