Shoulder arthroscopy is a surgical procedure used to visualize, diagnose, and treat various problems inside the shoulder joint and in the space surrounding the rotator cuff. This is done through small incisions that allow the insertion of specialized instruments. The arthroscope is a pencil-sized tool that contains magnifying lenses and a light source. This is attached to a small camera that projects a clear image of the joint on a TV monitor, allowing your surgeon to see all the structures inside your shoulder.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that involves the use of a small, flexible tube with a camera, known as an arthroscope, to diagnose and treat various problems within the shoulder joint. The arthroscope is inserted through small incisions around the shoulder, allowing the orthopedic surgeon to view the interior of the joint on a monitor.
Key Aspects of Shoulder Arthroscopy
- Diagnostic Tool
- Minimally Invasive
- Procedure Process
- Common Procedures
- Outpatient Procedure
- Recovery
Shoulder arthroscopy can be performed for shoulder problems such as recurrent shoulder dislocations, rotator cuff tears, and muscle impingement. Providing comfort and safety during operation and post-operative processes for patients, shoulder arthroscopy has many advantages over traditional open surgery. The method enables the surgeon to have a highly detailed view of the operated area captured with high definition imaging and zooming. Due to the small size of incisions, patients recover more quickly through a more comfortable post-operative process.
Advantages and benefits of shoulder arthroscopy:
- Detailed imaging
- Comfortable operation procedure for surgeons
- Safe surgical procedures
- Low risk of complications
- Quick recovery
- Considerably less painful post-operative period
- Hardly noticeable scars
