About the Procedure

What Is Arthroscopy?

A minimally invasive approach used to look inside a joint before deciding on treatment.

Arthroscopy evaluation at Sarojini Shirol Hospital

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows our orthopaedic team to look inside a joint using a slender instrument fitted with a small camera, called an arthroscope, guided in through a few small incisions rather than a large surgical opening.

The camera sends a magnified, real-time view of the joint's structures onto a screen, helping confirm a diagnosis with clarity. Where clinically appropriate, the same approach may also be used to treat certain conditions in the same sitting, with less discomfort and a shorter hospital stay.
