Key Words	Carpal tunnel syndrome; Aspirin; Antiaggregation therapy; Hand surgery; Carpal tunnel release
Core Tip	Our study demonstrates that continuation of aspirin did not increase the risk of local or general complications. Continuation of aspirin did not influence the subjective scar assessment. It is concluded that it is unnecessary to stop aspirin before carpal tunnel release when good meticulous surgical techniques are used.
