In all cases, ENMG examinations showed that, median motor latency was greater than 4.3 ms. In the postoperative period, paresthesia ratio was found as l4,8% weakness 11.1%, but none of the patients complanied abouth night pain. In physical examinatinos, positive Phalen test, positive Tinnel test, thenar atrophy, stength loss was found l4.8% and sensorial loss was fond as 11.1%, Ten hands (37%) showed pathological median motor latency.
