| Acute median neuropathy after wrist trauma: the role of emergent carpal tunnel release. In a retrospective study of 15 women, 7 of whom had some postaxillary dissection lymphedema, Dawson et al (23) found that none with a previous axillary dissection developed a postoperative infection or had any worsening of pre-existing lymphedema or onset of new upper-limb swelling after carpal tunnel release in the involved hand.
