Arthroscopy (Keyhole Surgery) in Nashik
Minimally invasive keyhole surgery for knee and shoulder problems in Nashik — meniscus tears, ligament injuries, and rotator cuff problems with faster recovery.
About Arthroscopy (Keyhole Surgery)
Arthroscopy is keyhole surgery of the joints: a small camera and fine instruments are inserted through 2–3 tiny incisions, letting the surgeon see and treat problems inside the knee or shoulder without opening the joint. Compared with open surgery it means less pain, smaller scars, lower infection risk, and a much faster return to daily life.
Common arthroscopic procedures include meniscus repair or trimming, ACL reconstruction, removal of loose bodies, and rotator cuff or shoulder stabilisation procedures. Dr. Mayuri Jain Daryani evaluates whether your knee or shoulder problem genuinely needs arthroscopy — many conditions still respond to physiotherapy and injections — and explains the findings and plan in plain language.
Patients from Nashik Road, Deolali, Sinnar, and across Nashik consult us for a second opinion before undergoing arthroscopic surgery advised elsewhere; an honest assessment of whether surgery will actually help is always the first step.
When Is It Needed?
Meniscus tear causing locking, catching, or persistent knee pain
Ligament injuries (ACL and others) needing reconstruction
Loose bone or cartilage fragments inside the joint
Recurrent shoulder dislocation needing stabilisation
Selected rotator cuff tears
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Most arthroscopic procedures are day-care or single-night admissions. Walking or arm use begins quickly with a rehab plan; most patients return to desk work within 1–2 weeks and complete recovery within 6–12 weeks depending on the procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between arthroscopy and open surgery?
Arthroscopy uses 2–3 keyhole incisions and a camera instead of a large cut. This means less tissue damage, less pain, faster healing, and usually same-day or next-day discharge — with the same or better view of the joint for the surgeon.
Is arthroscopy needed for every meniscus tear?
No. Small, stable tears — especially degenerative tears in older patients — often improve with physiotherapy. Arthroscopy is advised for tears causing locking, recurrent swelling, or persistent pain despite conservative care.
How long is the hospital stay for keyhole knee surgery?
Usually day-care or one night. You walk (with support if needed) the same day, and a structured physiotherapy plan starts immediately to restore movement and strength.
Can I get a second opinion before arthroscopy?
Absolutely — and you should if you are unsure. Bring your MRI and reports to the clinic in Nashik Road; Dr. Mayuri will examine you and tell you honestly whether surgery is likely to help your specific problem.
