Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside a joint. Using a specialized instrument called an arthroscope—a small camera that projects images onto a screen—surgeons can see inside the joint with high precision and perform necessary repairs through tiny incisions.
Benefits of Arthroscopic Surgery
- Minimally Invasive: Involves small incisions, reducing the risk of infection and minimizing scarring.
- Faster Recovery: Patients often experience shorter recovery times and less post-operative pain compared to traditional open surgery.
- Accurate Diagnosis: The high-resolution images provided by the arthroscope allow for a detailed examination of the joint, leading to precise treatment.
- Outpatient Procedure: Many arthroscopic surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can return home the same day.
