Dr Trotter got straight to it no messing around. Carpal tunnel release both hands @ Aurora in Kenosha, Surgery took 2.5 minutes I know I watched the clock it was over so quick, they used a tourniquet cuff on arm & filled it with anesthesia doc stitched it up and they had cuff off in under 10min. Recovery was perfect did PT at Aurora and 10 days later Rt hand done. 10 years later had to get tested to prove I didn't have carpal tunnel & test came back perfect. Under 2% chance of getting it again
