Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small camera-equipped instrument is inserted through tiny incisions to diagnose and treat issues within the shoulder joint. The goal is to repair damage, relieve pain, and restore joint function.
During surgery, patients typically receive general or regional anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. A small incision (about 0.5 to 1 cm) is made in the shoulder, through which an arthroscope is inserted to view the joint. Guided by the camera, the surgeon performs necessary repairs—such as stitching torn tendons, removing inflamed tissue, or reconstructing structures. After the procedure, the incision is closed and covered with a sterile dressing.
Treatment for shoulder conditions includes tendon repair for rotator cuff tears to improve strength and range of motion; reducing inflammation and pain for bursitis; removing bone spurs or impinging structures in impingement syndrome; and clearing abnormal tissue in cases of synovitis or cysts to restore smooth joint movement.
Most patients can go home the same day after surgery, but regular follow-up visits are needed to monitor healing. Physical therapy is essential, using targeted exercises to restore shoulder strength and range of motion. Patients should follow medical advice, avoid strenuous activity, and allow proper rest. Arthroscopic shoulder surgery typically reduces pain and improves joint function, with most patients regaining normal daily and athletic activities after proper rehabilitation.
