Dr. Demetrio Aguila Provides 50+ Patients Relief From Carpal Tunnel Syndrome With UltaGuideCTR!

Feb 3rd, 2021

Dr. Demetrio J. Aguila III, a peripheral nerve surgeon, plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist in Norfolk, Nebraska, has now given more than 50 patients fast-healing relief from carpal tunnel syndrome by using UltraGuideCTR to perform carpal tunnel release (CTR) with real-time ultrasound guidance.

“Across the board, patients remark at how easy recovery is and how quickly they bounce back to normal activity,” says Aguila. “We have a lot of patients who work with their hands. For many, CTR with ultrasound guidance was the only viable option since they couldn’t afford to miss work.”

Most patients who undergo CTR using ultrasound guidance are able to return to normal activities in 3–6 days. The procedure is performed in Dr. Aguila’s office, using local anesthesia and a small incision which is typically closed without sutures. Dr. Aguila prescribes over-the-counter medications for comfort.
