It is a 20 bedded state-of-the-art emergency medical unit with facilities for providing multiparameter hemodynamic monitoring and total ventilatory support for critically ill patients.
The procedure involves anaesthetics, either local, general or spinal. The minor incisions through which the arthroscope and surgical instruments are inserted, will, after treatment be covered with dressing and patients will be transferred to the recovery room. Usually, because of the small size of the incisions, in some cases, the patient will be able to continue normal duties after two to three days. Others, such as sportsmen will require longer periods to recover and partake in sporting activities.
The incisions for the insertion of equipment will heal quickly. The surgeon will advise the patient regarding DOs and DONTS, like the nature of activities that can be taken up and those that should not. The patient will also be given a routine of exercise to strengthen the joints.
Because the procedure involves a small incision, the risk is lesser. The patient will generally be discharged on the same day, except in instances where further treatment or monitoring is required for further intervention.
