Keyhole shoulder surgery

What is a keyhole shoulder surgery?

Endoscopic shoulder surgery – also referred to as shoulder arthroscopy – is a minimally invasive procedure. Instead of making one large cut, the surgeon makes a few tiny incisions through which a miniature fiber-optic camera is inserted. This camera features specialised instruments that allows the surgeon to clearly view and repair damaged cartilage, tendons, and ligaments while minimizing recovery time.

Why is it performed?

Keyhole shoulder surgery may be recommended if non-surgical treatments haven’t relieved your symptoms. It can help diagnose and treat a range of shoulder conditions, reduce pain, improve movement and support your return to everyday activities.

What the procedure involves

Keyhole shoulder surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed through small incisions using specialised instruments. Your surgeon will explain what to expect before your operation and provide advice on your recovery and rehabilitation after treatment.
