Carpal Tunnel Surgery Prices London · Harley Street
A written, personalised quote for carpal tunnel release with Ms Anna De Leo, shaped by your nerve tests, the anaesthetic chosen and the aftercare your hand needs.
How much does carpal tunnel surgery cost in London?
The cost of carpal tunnel surgery in London depends on what your hand actually needs, so there is no single fixed figure. Whether nerve conduction studies or an ultrasound are required, whether the release is done wide-awake under local anaesthetic or under a regional block, and whether one or both hands are treated all change the quote. Ms Anna De Leo assesses you at 64 Harley Street, then a written quote follows. Request yours through the form or by WhatsApp.

What a Carpal Tunnel Surgery quote includes
Your written quote from Harley Street is itemised, so you can see exactly what is covered.
- Surgeon's feeMs De Leo's fee for the carpal tunnel release itself, including dividing the transverse carpal ligament under magnification and protecting the median nerve and its small motor branch.
- AnaestheticWide-awake local anaesthetic for most patients, or a regional block when preferred or clinically advisable; the anaesthetic route is stated clearly in your quote.
- Day-case facilityUse of the operating theatre and day-case recovery area, with sterile instruments and nursing care before you go home the same day.
- Dressings and wrist supportThe bulky post-operative dressing and, where Ms De Leo feels it helps comfort, a short-term wrist splint for the first days of healing.
- Wound check and stitch removalA post-operative review of the palm incision, usually with removal of sutures, and advice on scar massage once the wound has fully closed.
- Follow-up reviewA later appointment to check how numbness, night symptoms and grip are recovering, and to decide whether any hand therapy is still useful.
What affects Carpal Tunnel Surgery prices in London
These are the factors Ms De Leo considers when preparing your personalised quote.
Nerve conduction studies and imaging
Many patients arrive with a firm diagnosis and recent nerve conduction results; others need them arranged. These electrical tests confirm median nerve compression at the wrist, measure its severity and rule out a trapped nerve in the neck. An ultrasound of the carpal tunnel is sometimes added. Whether these investigations are already done, or need to be organised, is one of the first things that shapes your quote.
Local or regional anaesthetic
Most carpal tunnel releases are carried out wide-awake, with a local anaesthetic injected into the palm and no tourniquet, so you can go home quickly without sedation. Some patients prefer, or need, a regional block that numbs the whole arm, which requires an anaesthetist. The anaesthetic plan is agreed at consultation, and it is reflected directly in the written quote.
One hand or both hands
Carpal tunnel syndrome often affects both wrists. Some people choose to have each hand treated on a separate occasion, keeping one hand free for daily tasks; others, after careful discussion, prefer both released on the same day. Operating on two hands changes theatre time, dressings and aftercare, so your quote states clearly which approach has been planned.
Severity and duration of nerve compression
When compression has been present for many years, there may be wasting of the thumb muscles and constant numbness rather than night tingling. These hands may need a more extended review of recovery and, occasionally, additional procedures to restore thumb movement later. The severity seen on examination and nerve tests helps Ms De Leo plan a realistic pathway and the corresponding quote.
Hand therapy after release
Many patients recover with simple home exercises and scar massage. Others benefit from sessions with a hand therapist to settle pillar pain in the palm, regain grip strength or manage a sensitive scar. Whether therapy sessions are expected, and how many, depends on your work, your hand and your progress, and this is discussed openly before the quote is finalised.
Previous carpal tunnel surgery
Persistent or recurrent symptoms after an earlier release are a different problem from a first operation. Revision surgery involves fresh investigations, working through scar tissue and sometimes protecting the nerve with additional techniques. A revision case therefore needs its own detailed assessment and its own individual quote, rather than being treated as a routine first release.
Beyond the price: choosing well
Carpal tunnel release is a short operation, but it is performed millimetres from the median nerve and the motor branch that powers your thumb. An incomplete release leaves symptoms behind, and a damaged nerve branch can be permanent, so the surgeon's precision matters far more than the length of the procedure suggests. Ms Anna De Leo holds the European Diploma in Hand Surgery and a Master's in Reconstructive Microsurgery, and confirms the diagnosis carefully before advising surgery at all. Aftercare matters too: ADLSynergy can support your recovery with scar therapy and massage for a tender palm scar, alongside practical guidance on returning to work and typing.
