What to expect at the time of your surgery:
The shoulder joint is accessed by the surgeon using minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures during arthroscopic subacromial decompression. General anesthesia is administered to the patient in order to make sure they are pain-free and comfortable during the procedure. Tiny incisions are made all around the shoulder by the surgeon to insert an arthroscope, a flexible, thin tube equipped with a camera and illumination system. This enables the surgeon to view images on a monitor from inside the shoulder joint. The surgeon assesses the state of the shoulder’s structures, looking for any problems that might be leading to impingement. In the event that impingement is evident, the surgeon will remove or remodel the impingement-causing structures using specialized surgical instruments. Usually, this entails trimming any damaged tissue and shaving down the acromion to provide more room. The incisions are sutured shut after the decompression is finished.
What to expect after your surgery:
Sterile dressing is given to the incision following the surgery. Compared to typical open surgery, arthroscopic subacromial decompression is said to be a minimally intrusive method that frequently causes less discomfort, a quicker recovery, and fewer scars. After the surgery, patients might need to go through physical therapy to restore their shoulder’s strength and range of motion. For the best results, patients should adhere to the aftercare recommendations and show up for all follow-up sessions.
