Shoulder Endoscopy: Minimally Invasive Solutions for Shoulder Pain


Shoulder pain can significantly impact daily life, affecting activities ranging from lifting objects to sleeping comfortably. Horizon Group of Hospitals understands the challenges posed by shoulder conditions and offers advanced solutions like Shoulder Endoscopy. Let’s explore how Shoulder Endoscopy provides effective relief for shoulder pain through minimally invasive techniques.

 

What is Shoulder Endoscopy?

Shoulder Endoscopy, also known as shoulder arthroscopy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various shoulder conditions. It involves inserting a small camera (arthroscope) and specialised instruments through small incisions around the shoulder joint.

Conditions Treated with Shoulder Endoscopy

  • Rotator Cuff Tears: Repairing torn tendons in the rotator cuff.
  • Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: Removing inflamed tissue to relieve pressure on the shoulder tendons and bursa.
  • Labral Tears: Repairing tears in the cartilage (labrum) that surrounds the shoulder socket.
  • Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Manipulating and releasing tight tissues around the shoulder joint.

 

Advantages of Shoulder Endoscopy

Minimally Invasive Nature

  • Small Incisions: Typically requires only small incisions, resulting in less tissue damage and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
  • Reduced Pain and Scarring: Patients often experience less postoperative pain and minimal scarring.

Precision and Visualization

  • Detailed Imaging: High-definition cameras provide clear visualization of the shoulder joint and surrounding tissues, allowing for precise surgical manoeuvres.
  • Targeted Treatment: Surgeons can accurately diagnose and treat specific shoulder conditions with minimal disruption to healthy tissues.

Faster Recovery and Rehabilitation

  • Shorter Hospital Stay: Many procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.
  • Quicker Return to Activities: Patients can typically resume light activities sooner than with open surgery, with full recovery timelines varying based on individual cases and rehabilitation progress.
