Abstract

Over the last few decades, there has been a gradual increase in the number of women training and becoming surgeons. However, in spite of the numbers of male and female medical graduates slightly favouring women, the gender imbalance of males significantly outnumbering females entering surgical training persists. There are many influences and challenges faced by female graduates considering a surgical career and in order to make surgery a more appealing career to women, they will need to be addressed by training organisations and workplaces.

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare

CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
