Surgery without stitches
is the hands-down winner for easier
recovery from carpal tunnel syndrome. . . Just ask Maggie.

It wasnt Maggies new baby that kept her from sleeping. It was the constant, painful numbness in her hands that developed after her daughter was born. Unable to sleep or fully use her hands, she was referred to Saint Francis Orthopedic and Hand Surgeon, Michael Aron, M.D.

• Diagnosis:
  Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  
• Treatment:
  The new, minimally invasive mini open procedure, closed with special skin glue instead of uncomfortable stitches.

A significant advancement from the early days of 3" incisions into sensitive wrist tissue, the mini open procedure is performed through a discreet, 1" incision along the curve of the palm. Among the first to incorporate skin glue with the procedure, Dr. Aron successfully eliminated bulky bandages, the pull of stitches and the pain of removing them.

The results were dramatic: from the first night and ever since, Maggie has been sleeping like a baby.

"Through the innovative combination of mini open surgery and skin glue, we remove patient anxiety not stitches. Recovery is usually quick and comfortable." Michael Aron, M.D., Orthopedic and Hand Surgery
