ABSTRACT
The treatments for non-deficit forms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) are corticoid infiltration and/or a nighttime immobilization brace. Surgical treatment, which includes sectioning the retinaculum of the flexors (retinaculotomy), is indicated in cases of resistance to conservative treatment in deficit forms or, more frequently, in acute forms. In minimally invasive techniques (endoscopy and mini-open), and even though the learning curve is longer, it seems that functional recovery occurs earlier than in the classical surgery, but with identical long-term results. The choice depends on the surgeon, patient, severity, etiology and availability of material. The results are satisfactory in close to 90% of the cases. Recovery of strength requires four to six months after regression of the pain of pillar pain type. This surgery has the reputation of being benign and has a complication rate of 0.2–0.5%...
RESUMO
Os tratamentos nas formas não déficitárias da síndrome do túnel do carpo (SCC) são a infiltração de corticoide e/ou uma órtese de imobilização noturna. O tratamento cirúrgico, que compreende a secção do retináculo dos flexores (retinaculotomia), é indicado em caso de resistência ao tratamento conservador nas formas déficitárias ou, mais frequentemente, nas formas agudas. Nas técnicas minimamente invasivas (endoscópica e miniopen), indepen-dentemente de a curva de aprendizado ser mais longa, parece que a recuperação funcional é mais precoce em relação à cirurgia clássica, mas com os resultados em longo prazo idênticos. A escolha depende do cirurgião, do paciente, da gravidade, da etiologia e da disponibili-dade do material. Os resultados são próximos de 90% de casos satisfatórios. A recuperação da força necessita de quatro a seis meses após a regressão das dores do tipo dor do pilar (pillar pain). Essa cirurgia tem a reputação de ser benigna e apresenta de 0,2% a 0,5% de complicações...
