Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist, which can lead to pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the hand and fingers. These symptoms often worsen at night or when the hands are used repeatedly in daily activities, such as typing or gripping objects. If not treated properly by a carpal tunnel syndrome specialist, CTS can progress to permanent nerve damage, resulting in significant loss of hand function.

He is a consultant orthopedic specialist who practices at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital and has extensive experience in treating various CTS cases, ranging from mild symptoms to conditions requiring advanced medical intervention.

WALANT: A Modern Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment at Mandaya Puri Hospital
The WALANT technique (Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet) is a modern surgical method used to treat carpal tunnel syndrome without general anesthesia and without the use of a tourniquet. In this procedure, the doctor administers only local anesthesia injected into the wrist area, allowing the patient to remain fully awake throughout the surgery. WALANT enables precise decompression of the median nerve with minimal pain and offers greater comfort for patients.
Advantages of the WALANT Technique for CTS include:
- No need for general anesthesia, reducing the risk of anesthesia-related side effects
- No tourniquet use, making the procedure more comfortable and minimizing pain from pressure
- Patients remain awake and can immediately move their fingers to ensure proper nerve and tendon function
- Faster and more efficient procedure
- Lower risk of bleeding due to the vasoconstrictive effect of the local anesthetic
- Shorter recovery time
- Suitable for patients with certain medical conditions who are not advised to undergo general anesthesia
- Most patients can go home on the same day after the procedure
