While carpal tunnel release surgery is generally effective in relieving symptoms, there is a small possibility of recurrence. In some cases, scar tissue formation or other factors can cause the carpal tunnel to narrow again, leading to a return of symptoms. However, the likelihood of recurrence is relatively low. It is important to follow proper hand ergonomics, use wrist splints if recommended, and address any underlying risk factors to minimize the chances of recurrence. If symptoms do recur, it is advisable to consult with your surgeon for further evaluation and appropriate management.
