Detailed explanation-1: -Bursectomy is a surgical procedure to remove a small, fluid-filled sac (bursa) within a joint when it becomes inflamed (bursitis). The bursa act as cushions for bones, and the muscles and tendons which are located near them. Inflammation is more likely to develop in joints that perform repetitive motions.
Detailed explanation-2: -In most cases of a simple bursectomy, patients return to all of their activities by about six weeks. In cases where a repair of the tendon is performed, the return to all activities is delayed until at least three months following the procedure, when you may be allowed to begin higher impact activities.
Detailed explanation-3: -Excess bleeding. Problems from anesthesia, such as wheezing or sore throat. Blood clots. Blood vessel or nerve damage.
