What is a Transaction?
Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure performed through small incisions that is used to examine the internal structure of joints and treat them when necessary. This procedure is performed with the help of a thin camera (arthroscope) inserted into the joint and the inside of the joint is visualized in detail.
How is it done?
In our clinic in Çiğli, Izmir, arthroscopy is performed by entering the joint through small incisions. Thanks to the camera placed inside the joint, the surgeon sees the damage and problems inside the joint in real time. Using these images, the surgeon intervenes in the cartilage, meniscus, ligaments and other joint structures. Minimally invasive techniques increase the precision of the surgical procedure, shortening recovery time and reducing pain.
