What type of bandages is used on the shoulder after scopic surgeory?
Answers
Arthroscopy is a procedure that orthopaedic surgeons use to inspect, diagnose, and repair problems inside a joint.
The word arthroscopy comes from two Greek words, "arthro" (joint) and "skopein" (to look). The term literally means "to look within the joint." During shoulder arthroscopy, your surgeon inserts a small camera, called an arthroscope, into your shoulder joint. The camera displays pictures on a television screen, and your surgeon uses these images to guide miniature surgical instruments.
Because the arthroscope and surgical instruments are thin, your surgeon can use very small incisions (cuts), rather than the larger incision needed for standard, open surgery. This results in less pain for patients, and shortens the time it takes to recover and return to favorite activities.

Answer:
After removing the dressing covering the shoulder keep the steri-strips in place, apply a clear plastic wrap (Saran wrap). This should be applied for each shower until the sutures are removed. You need to keep your incisions dry. After showering, make sure that you dry the shoulder area.
