    I had my carpal tunnel operated on about 15 years ago. I would
    highly recommend the surgery. I had experienced a lot of numbness
    and tingling that would even wake me up at night and had nerve
    damage that took about 6 months to heal. After a week in a half
    cast, the stitches were removed and I was using my hand very soon
    after that. It has never given me any trouble since. 

    Recently on an airplane, I saw an ad for orthoscopic carpal tunnel
    surgery done through two small incisions. My whole scar is only an
    inch long, so I do not know that this is much of an improvement, but
    you might want to check it out.
