Arthroscopic Meniscectomy

Arthroscopic Meniscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by Dr. Manu Gautam to treat meniscus tears in the knee. The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage that cushions and stabilizes the knee joint. When it tears due to injury, aging, or sports activity, patients often experience pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the joint.

During the procedure, Dr. Gautam makes small incisions around the knee and inserts an arthroscope, a thin camera that projects a clear view of the joint onto a screen. This advanced visualization allows him to carefully examine the damaged cartilage and decide whether to trim or remove the torn portion. By preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, he helps maintain long-term knee stability.

The surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis, so most patients return home the same day. Compared with open surgery, arthroscopy involves smaller cuts, less pain, and a faster recovery. In addition, the risk of infection or stiffness is significantly lower.

After surgery, rehabilitation plays an important role. Patients begin with gentle exercises to restore movement and gradually progress to strengthening routines. Physical therapy ensures proper healing, reduces stiffness, and helps individuals regain normal activity levels sooner.

Dr. Manu Gautam combines surgical expertise with a patient-first approach. He not only uses advanced techniques but also designs personalized care plans to meet each patient’s lifestyle and recovery goals. As a result, many individuals return to sports, work, and daily routines with greater comfort and confidence.

For anyone struggling with persistent knee pain due to a meniscus injury, arthroscopic knee surgery can be a reliable solution. With his commitment to quality care, Dr. Gautam aims to deliver long-lasting relief and improved joint function.
