Description

I offer minimally invasive surgery as part of my orthopaedic and joint-replacement care in Pune. Minimally invasive surgery uses smaller incisions and specialised techniques to access an area of concern. I offer it as an orthopaedic surgical option intended to reduce tissue disruption compared with a conventional open approach when appropriate. Understanding the concern People often seek a specialist opinion when symptoms interfere with walking, climbing stairs, work, sport, sleep or everyday independence. Persistent pain, stiffness, swelling, reduced movement or a change in joint function should be assessed in the context of the person’s medical history and day-to-day needs. The first step is to understand the diagnosis rather than to assume that one treatment suits every person. My approach to care Whether this approach is suitable depends on the diagnosis, anatomy, planned procedure and safety considerations. I explain the expected benefits, limitations, alternatives and specific risks before treatment is chosen. During a consultation, I review symptoms, previous treatment, relevant health history and investigations where needed. I then explain the possible benefits, limitations, recovery process and alternatives in clear terms, so that patients can make an informed decision. Recovery and safety Recovery and rehabilitation are individual. They depend on the diagnosis, procedure when surgery is required, general health and engagement with the post-treatment plan. I do not promise a cure, a fixed recovery timeline or the same outcome for every patient. This content is general information, not medical advice or a substitute for an in-person consultation. Seek urgent medical care for sudden severe symptoms, a major injury, fever with a painful joint, loss of sensation, loss of circulation or other concerning changes. Contact me to arrange a consultation and discuss whether minimally invasive surgery may be appropriate for you.
