Advanced Arthroscopic Meniscus Debridement by Dr. Hemendra Agrawal

Dr. Hemendra Agrawal
MBBS, MS (Orthopedics) · Consultant, Narayana Hospital
Overview
Meniscus debridement, also known as partial meniscectomy, is a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure performed to remove the damaged or torn portion of the meniscus while preserving as much healthy cartilage as possible.
The meniscus plays a vital role in shock absorption and joint stability. However, certain tears—especially those in areas with poor blood supply—cannot heal effectively and require removal of the damaged portion to relieve symptoms.
Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs advanced arthroscopic meniscus debridement using precision instruments and high-definition visualization. This ensures minimal tissue damage and optimal preservation of healthy cartilage.
The procedure is often done as a daycare surgery, allowing patients to return home the same day with faster recovery and minimal discomfort.
