A recurrent case of carpal tunnel syndrome in haemodialysis.
Herein is described a haemodialysis patient with bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome suffering from recurrence unilaterally after undergoing numerous surgeries of varying methods. On the left side, she received carpal tunnel release via open method in our clinic, and has not suffered from recurrence in eight years. On the right side, she received endoscopic carpal tunnel release twice in seven years, and subsequently underwent open carpal tunnel release in our clinic for recurrence. For carpal tunnel syndrome in haemodialysis patients, we recommend open surgery rather than endoscopic surgery.
