What is Shoulder Arthroscopy?
Shoulder arthroscopy is a surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various conditions affecting the shoulder joint. In this minimally invasive technique, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the shoulder joint, providing a clear view of the area on a video monitor. This allows surgeons like Dr. Aayush Bhargava at Rajul Nursing Home in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, to diagnose and resolve issues with greater precision and less trauma to the body compared to traditional open surgery.
Addressing Shoulder Problems
Shoulder arthroscopy can be used to treat a range of shoulder problems, including rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, and recurrent shoulder dislocations. The procedure is also effective in repairing damaged cartilage and ligaments within the joint. Dr. Bhargava’s expertise in shoulder arthroscopy enables him to provide targeted treatments for these conditions, often resulting in quicker recovery times and less postoperative pain for patients.
Benefits of Shoulder Arthroscopy
The key benefits of shoulder arthroscopy include smaller incisions, reduced pain and scarring, and a lower risk of infection. These advantages often translate into a faster recovery, allowing patients to return to their daily activities more quickly. Additionally, shoulder arthroscopy offers a more precise treatment method, improving the chances of a successful outcome.
The Procedure at Rajul Nursing Home
At Rajul Nursing Home, the shoulder arthroscopy procedure begins with the administration of anesthesia. Dr. Bhargava then makes small incisions around the shoulder to insert the arthroscope and specialized instruments. The real-time images provided by the arthroscope guide him through the surgery, whether it’s for repairing a tear, removing inflamed tissue, or addressing other issues within the joint.
Recovery and Aftercare
Following the surgery, patients at Rajul Nursing Home receive comprehensive care instructions for recovery. This typically includes pain management, physical therapy, and guidelines for gradually resuming activities. Dr. Bhargava and his team ensure close follow-up and support throughout the recovery process, contributing to the best possible outcome for each patient.
