Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that has transformed the field of
orthopedics, offering a reliable solution for diagnosing and treating joint issues with
minimal tissue disruption. Dr. Yogesh Patil, an expert in arthroscopic techniques, utilizes
this advanced procedure to provide quicker recovery times, reduced pain, and excellent
outcomes for his patients.
What is Arthroscopic Surgery?
- Definition: A surgical technique where a small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the
joint through a tiny incision. The camera transmits images to a monitor, enabling the
surgeon to visualize the joint’s interior and perform necessary repairs.
- Purpose: Treats a variety of joint conditions such as torn cartilage, ligament injuries,
arthritis, and joint instability.
-
Benefits:
- Minimal tissue damage
- Shorter recovery period
- Reduced post-operative pain
- Faster return to normal activities
- Smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery

How Arthroscopic Surgery Works
- 1. Preparation: The patient is typically put under anesthesia (general or regional)
based on the specific procedure.
- 2. Incisions: Small incisions (usually 2-3) are made around the joint. One incision is
for the arthroscope, and others are for surgical instruments like scissors or forceps.
- 3. Visualizing the Joint: The arthroscope sends live images to a monitor, allowing Dr.
Patil to view the joint’s interior.
- 4. Surgical Repair: Instruments inserted through the other incisions allow Dr. Patil to
trim or remove damaged tissue, repair torn ligaments, or clean out joint debris.
- 5. Closure: The incisions are stitched, and the joint is bandaged.
