Carpal Tunnel Surgery

If pain, tingling, or numbness in your hand is disrupting your sleep, work, or daily life, you may have carpal tunnel syndrome.

 

Mr Rikki Mistry, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, offers expert private carpal tunnel surgery at clinics in East Grinstead, Chatham, and Tunbridge Wells - with short waiting times and a warm, patient-centred approach.

Do You Recognise These Symptoms?

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed in the wrist. Symptoms often start gradually and worsen over time, particularly at night.

 

Common signs include:

​

  • Numb fingers at night - especially thumb, index, and middle fingers

  • Tingling or pins and needles in the hand

  • Pain or aching in the wrist and hand

  • Weakness or dropping things due to reduced grip

  • Symptoms that wake you from sleep

 

If night splints or steroid injections haven't provided lasting relief, carpal tunnel release surgery is the most effective long-term solution.

Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery - What to Expect

Carpal tunnel surgery is one of the most commonly performed hand operations. Mr Mistry performs open carpal tunnel release under local anaesthetic as a day-case procedure - meaning you go home the same day.

 

The Procedure:

A small incision is made in the palm to divide the transverse carpal ligament, immediately relieving pressure on the median nerve. The operation typically takes 15–20 minutes. Most patients notice a reduction in nighttime symptoms very quickly after surgery.

Mr Mistry holds clinics at convenient locations across Kent and East Sussex. Specialist private care is available close to home.
