Effect of Carpal Tunnel Release on Median Nerve Perfusion Using SPY Scope Imaging
This study aims to examine the effect of carpal tunnel release on blood flow to the median
nerve using SPY scope imaging to view the perfusion to the nerve.
nerve using SPY scope imaging to view the perfusion to the nerve.
The study will involve patients undergoing carpal tunnel release surgery at our institution,
with no change in the actual procedure performed. Using the SPY Scope, we will measure blood
flow prior to the carpal tunnel release, and again measure once carpal tunnel release has
been performed, in order to compare the values. This may add roughly 15 minutes to the total
procedure time, however, no steps in the actual operation will be altered or affected in any
way.
