I would also opt for the traditional open procedure, rather than any endoscopic or limited incision approach.
Why? I don't care about the scar, but it would seem like a much more lengthy rehab, no? Are they that much more successful.

Lastly, I'd see a hand or upper extremity specialist, not just a general orthopaedic, neurosurgeon, or plastic surgeon (I've seen all three perform this operation).
I am. But the guy they sent me to if much younger than the other 2 in the clinic. Should it matter?

All 3 surgeons did their fellowships at the Indiana Hand Center, which is one of the best in the nation. He's been at BROC for about 7 yrs

I asked every PT that worked on me straight up--"Does PT work for this injury?" Most hemmed and hawed and aw-shucksed a "sometimes." Cause I was like, "I don't want to go through all this for months and then still have to have fricking surgery and do it all again."
Truth is, some yes, some no. You can typically tell in a couple weeks though. It all depends on the severity of the entrapment. Sometimes it's just neural tension. Sometimes it's just an acute injury that takes time to heal.
