Bengaluru: Dr. Banarji BH, a Senior Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon and Specialist Shoulder Surgeon at Sakra World Hospital in Bengaluru, has secured a patent for a groundbreaking invention titled 'Device and Apparatus for Arthroscopic Carpal Tunnel Release.' This patented device represents a major leap forward in orthopedic surgery, providing a revolutionary approach to treating carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). By enabling arthroscopic procedures through a small incision and specialized equipment, it offers patients a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. This innovation aims to enhance patient outcomes by reducing post-operative discomfort, accelerating recovery, and minimizing treatment costs, ultimately improving the quality of life for individuals affected by CTS. The device functions by insertion beneath the constricted ligament, facilitating the insertion of an arthroscope or thin camera for visualization. Surgeons utilize a specialized tool to release the ligament, effectively decompressing the median nerve without resulting in a painful scar on the hand and palm. This technique is applicable to various individuals, including athletes, working professionals, and young adults.
