TLDR
The operation appears less successful than was previously supposed, but the best results are obtained in patients who have had symptoms for a short time and is succeeded by more permanent changes in the nerve.About:

David W. Levine,Barry P. Simmons,Mark J. Koris,Lawren H. Daltroy,Gerri G. Hohl,Anne H. Fossel,Jeffrey N. Katz +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the scales for the measurement of severity of symptoms and functional status are reproducible, internally consistent, and responsive to clinical change, and that they measure dimensions of outcomes not captured by traditional measurements of impairment of the median nerve.

Carpal tunnel release : a prospective, randomized assessment of open and endoscopic methods
Richard A. Brown,Richard H. Gelberman,John G. Seiler,Sven-Olof Abrahamsson,Andrew J. Weiland,James R. Urbaniak,David A. Schoenfeld,Deborah C. Furcolo +7 more
TL;DR: No significant differences were found between the two groups with regard to the secondary quantitative-outcome measurements, including two-point discrimination, postoperative interstitial-pressure data for the carpal canal, Semmes-Weinstein monofilament testing, and motor strength.

Complications of Endoscopic and Open Carpal Tunnel Release
Leon S. Benson,Aaron A. Bare,Daniel J. Nagle,Valerie S. Harder,Craig S. Williams,Craig S. Williams,Jeffrey L. Visotsky,Jeffrey L. Visotsky +7 more
TL;DR: The proportion of complications for carpal tunnel release, performed through an endoscopic or open approach, is very low and selection of an open versus an endoscope approach on the basis of structural complications for nerve, arteries, or tendons is not supported by statistical analysis of published complications.

Do nerve conduction studies predict the outcome of carpal tunnel decompression
TL;DR: Preoperative nerve conduction studies had the strongest effect, with patients with middle‐grade abnormalities having better results than those with either very severe or no abnormality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endoscopic release of the carpal ligament for carpal tunnel syndrome: 22-month clinical result.
TL;DR: There has been rapid recovery, less scarring, decreased postoperative pain, and no loss of pinch-and-grip strength in carpal tunnel syndrome patients.

Treatment of the carpal-tunnel syndrome.
TL;DR: It was a pity that, in the absence of any attempt at bacteriological confirmation, Case 12 was written off as " streptococcal tonsillitis," which is a dangerous snare which closes the mind to the possibility of reappraisal.
