Avant l’intervention
Le processus commence par une évaluation médicale approfondie visant à confirmer le diagnostic de syndrome du canal carpien. Cette étape peut inclure un examen clinique et un test EMG pour mesurer l’activité nerveuse. Pendant cette période, des traitements conservateurs tels que le port d’une attelle, des anti-inflammatoires et la physiothérapie peuvent être recommandés pour tenter de soulager les symptômes. Ces essais permettent de déterminer si une intervention chirurgicale est nécessaire.
Pendant l’intervention
La libération du canal carpien est une procédure rapide et sécuritaire réalisée sous anesthésie locale grâce à la technique WALANT (Wide-Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet). Cette méthode innovante offre un confort optimal en éliminant la nécessité d’une sédation ou d’un brassard de pression. Pendant l’opération, le chirurgien crée plus d’espace dans le canal carpien en sectionnant le ligament situé au-dessus du nerf médian, ce qui restaure la circulation et réduit la compression nerveuse.
Retour à la maison :
Présence de douleur ? Il est probable que vous souffrez d’un inconfort /douleur au niveau de votre main. L’inconfort devrait se dissiper à l’intérieur de 2 à 3 jours. Au besoin, prendre les analgésiques prescrits par le professionnel. Les médicaments contre la douleur peuvent occasionner de la constipation. Augmentez votre apport liquidien de fruits, de légumes et de céréales à grains entiers. Les ecchymoses sont normales et disparaitront au bout de 2-3 semaines. Les engourdissements vont diminuer de jour en jour après votre opération.
Soins du pansement :
Un pansement couvera votre plaie. Gardez le pansement sec pour les 3 premiers jours à la suite de votre opération. Le changement de pansement devra être fait au 4ᵉ jour de convalescence : Enlevez votre pansement avant de prendre votre douche. Bien assécher la cicatrice après votre douche. Mettre le nouveau pansement. Ne pas prendre de douche les 3 premiers jours, prendre un bain et utiliser une débarbouillette pour le haut du corps.
Médicaments :
Ne pas prendre de médicament qui contient de l’aspirine ou anti-inflammatoire non stéroïdien (Advil, ibuprofène) à moins d’une consigne contraire par le professionnel.
