  • Title: Major neurovascular complications of endoscopic carpal tunnel release.
    Author: Murphy RX, Jennings JF, Wukich DK.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 1994 Jan; 19(1):114-8. PubMed ID: 8169354.
    Abstract:
    Endoscopic carpal tunnel release is becoming an increasingly popular method of surgically correcting median nerve compression. Several complications have been suggested as possibilities following the technique; however, to date, there have been only isolated reports of iatrogenic injury to major neurovascular structures in the hand. We report both a case of transection of the median nerve and a pseudoaneurysm of the superficial palmar arch following endoscopic carpal tunnel release.
