Nanoscopy is the latest and revolutionary technological advancement in shoulder and sports surgeries. A Needle Camera of size less than 2mm allows the surgeon to directly view the joint on a TV screen with a skin poke without the necessity to cut the skin with a knife. It is exactly like giving an injection to the patient. It’s called Nanoscopy because of its miniature size. Once we view the joint, we can identify various types of defects and we can repair them with the help of Nanoscope.

The advantages of Nanoscopy are

1. Patient won’t require any stitches
2. As it can be done under local anesthesia, the patient can go home on the same day.
3. Pain is very minimal.

While addressing the media at Kims Sunshine Hospital, Secunderabad, Consultant Shoulder Surgeon, and Arthroscopy & Sports Surgery Dr B Chandra Sekhar stated that they were using the Nanoscope method for the last two years. Due to continuous and dedicated research, we are able to perform complex shoulder surgeries with Nanoscope. Frozen Shoulder has been treated successfully and we also published scientific articles in medical journals regarding the successful results of Nanoscope, the doctor said.

Recently we have successfully performed the repair of a complex ‘Rotator Cuff Muscle Tear of the shoulder, which is the first of its kind surgery in India. Managing Director KIMS Sunshine Hospitals, Dr. A.V. Gurava Reddy congratulated the doctors who performed the rare surgery Patients-V.
