MANOS is a 10-minute minimally invasive procedure for carpal tunnel patients that makes a 2.1 mm incision and allows patients to recover in one to two weeks instead of the usual six-week recovery time frame.
According to the report, Howard Memorial is the only hospital north of Santa Rosa, Calif., that offers the procedure.
