Shoulder Arthroscopy: Rotator Cuff Repair and More

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure expertly performed by Dr. Kevin McCarthy to treat a variety of shoulder issues.

This advanced technique involves using a small camera, called an arthroscope, which is inserted through a tiny incision. The camera transmits images to a monitor, allowing Dr. McCarthy to view the shoulder joint in detail and perform precise surgical interventions.

Here’s how shoulder arthroscopy works:

  1. You will be comfortably positioned, and your affected shoulder area will be sterilized. Anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free experience throughout the procedure.
  2. A small incision is made near the shoulder joint, and a tiny camera is inserted through the incision to provide a detailed view of the shoulder interior. Dr. McCarthy examines the joint on a monitor to identify any issues.
  3. Specialized instruments are used through additional small incisions to repair tissues or remove any debris.
  4. Incisions are closed with sutures or adhesive strips.
  5. Post-procedure, you will receive instructions tailored to your specific needs.

Paired with the latest technology in the field of orthopedics, Dr. McCarthy’s expertise ensures that each procedure is tailored to meet individual needs, promoting faster recovery and better outcomes.
