As an orthopaedic surgeon practicing in Ethekwini & Nushifa Hospital, these are some of the procedures rendered to patients:
Hip Replacement Surgery
A hip replacement procedure typically takes about 1-2 hours to complete. The patient is placed under general anesthesia, which means they are completely unconscious and do not feel any pain during the surgery.
Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery that uses a robotic system to assist the orthopaedic surgeon in performing a procedure. In orthopaedic surgery, robotic systems are used to perform procedures such as joint replacement, spine surgery, and arthroscopic surgery.
Shoulder Arthoscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows an orthopedic surgeon to view, diagnose, and treat problems inside the shoulder joint. The procedure is performed using a small camera called an arthroscope, which is inserted into the shoulder joint through a small incision.
Total Knee Replacement Surgery
A total knee replacement surgery typically takes around 1-2 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient’s individual circumstances.
Before the surgery, the patient is placed under general anesthesia, and the surgical team prepares the knee area for the procedure. The surgeon makes an incision in the knee area to access the knee joint, usually on the front of the knee.
Sports Injury To Shoulder, Knees & Ankles
If a sports injury occurs to the shoulder, knee, or ankle it requires surgery, the duration and type of surgery will depend on the specific injury and the patient’s individual circumstances.
For a shoulder injury, such as a rotator cuff tear or dislocation, arthroscopic surgery may be performed to repair the damaged tissue.
Hand & Soft Tissue Surgery
Hand and soft tissue surgery, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, and tenosynovitis, typically involve minimally invasive procedures that can be performed on an outpatient basis. The duration of the procedure and recovery time will depend on the specific condition being treated and the extent of the surgery.
