 Hi, I am Dr. Sanjay Prasad Hegde, senior orthopedic and arthroscopic surgeon, Manipal Hospital Varthu Road. Today I am going to talk about what an arthroscopy means. Arthroscopy is a keyhole surgery in which we make keyholes into the joint and we visualize the joint through that keyhole with a camera. This camera is attached to a monitor so we can visualize the joint in the monitor and through other keyholes we operate the joint with some special instruments and implants. The most common joints we operate is the knee and next will be the shoulder. All smaller joints can also be operated and all other joints can also be operated with these keyhole procedures. We reconstruct ligaments, we repair ligaments, we trim the damaged tissues as well as shave off all the unhealthy tissues with the special instruments we have. Since these procedures are keyhole procedures damage to the tissues is lesser. So the post-op recovery will be less painful and it will be faster. So hence we discharge the patients on the same days. So this will be daycare procedures. Get treated for many ailments in less than 24 hours. Safe surgery means Manipal Hospital because our stars are our doctors. No more excuses.
