Dr. Rohde shares if carpal tunnel release surgery is an outpatient procedure.
Dr. Rohde:
Yes, believe it or not, it wasn’t so long ago that people were admitted to the hospital and stayed for carpal tunnel release. But now it’s an outpatient surgery. Generally it takes under a half an hour. People go home the same day.
