Our benefits are:

1. no skin incision
2. no dressing or scar after the surgery
3. immediate return of patients to their daily activities
4. a specific instrument for two common hand affections: carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger.

The procedure is far safer than traditional surgery and, more importantly, far less invasive. A dressing is necessary for a few hours. The patients have almost no visible trace of the surgery and can return to their daily light activities the next day (wash their hands and return to life with no bandages or stitches to be removed).

The procedure should be performed under local anaesthesia.

It is possible to operate simultaneously on both hands for carpal tunnel syndromes, multiple trigger fingers, or a carpal tunnel and a trigger finger. No dressing is required, except on the day of the surgery.

Although there is no skin incision, only a minor puncture, the surgeon cuts the same ligament as for the open/endoscopic surgery. As a result, the operated area will likely cause pain for several weeks (sometimes months) after the surgery. This postoperative symptom is called pillar pain and occurs after all carpal tunnel surgeries. It is related to ligamentous healing, and in some patients, it may preclude heavy manual work for several weeks.

There is no scar resulting from this surgery.

Risks are extremely limited.

SPIRE is the acronym of Swiss Percutaneous Instruments, allowing Rapid and Efficient Surgery. SPIRE evokes also the similarity of the conical shape of the instruments ; CUT reminds us that the instruments allow the quick and efficient release of thickened pathological tissues like the fingers annual pulleys or the transverse carpal ligament.
