Methods A prospective, randomized study was performed on 70 hands in 62 patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome from April 2000 to April 2004. Either open (36 hands in 30 patients) or endoscopic (34 hands in 32 patients) carpal tunnel release was performed randomly. Symptom improvement, complications, and the time of operation, in-hospital stay, and return to work between the two groups were assessed with average 2 years of follow-up. The electromyography was tested pre- and 3 months post-operation. Results There were no significant differences between the two surgical groups with regard to postoperative improvements of symptom, electromyography tests, and the incidence of complications. But it was statistically less in the rate of scar tenderness, the time of operation, in-hospital stay, and return to work in the endoscopic group compared with the open group (P<0.05). Conclusions The endoscopic carpal tunnel release is a reliable method in the treatment of idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. And it has the advantages of slight scar tenderness, less operation time, less in-hospital stay, early functional recovery, safety, and high satisfaction rate compared with open methods.展开更多

Methods: the study was carried out from June 2019 to June 2020. The subjects of the study were patients undergoing endoscopic surgery in our hospital (n = 200, with a total of 200 endoscopic instruments). The various nursing modes implemented in the nursing management of the operating room were divided into groups. The control group (n = 100, 100 endoscopic instruments) received routine nursing management, while the observation group (n = 100, 100 endoscopic instruments) received detailed implementation. We compared the qualified cleaning and disinfection rate, damage rate and preparation error rate of the two groups. Results: the qualified rate of equipment cleaning and disinfection in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (98.00%), the equipment damage rate was 97.00%, and the equipment preparation error rate was 0.00%, significantly lower than that in the control group (91.00% and 4.00%). The former was significantly lower than the latter (P < 0.05). Conclusion: detail management is adopted in the comprehensive endoscopic operating room management, which can achieve good results. Not only can the qualification rate of equipment cleaning and disinfection be improved, but also the integrity of equipment can be ensured and the error rate can be reduced. The equipment is prepared to ensure the safety of patients and is worthy of clinical application.展开更多
