NURSING ANM AND GNM

Detailed explanation-1: -Synovectomy refers to the destruction or surgical removal of the membrane (synovium) that lines a joint. As the largest articulation and the one most frequently affected by chronic inflammation, the knee is the joint most often selected for synovectomy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Joint synovectomy is the surgical removal of the synovial membrane, the tissue that lines the joint capsule. Synovium surrounds the body’s joints and produces synovial fluid to help lubricate the joint enabling smooth movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -Joint aspiration is a procedure to remove fluid from the space around a joint using a needle and syringe. This is usually done under a local anesthetic to relieve swelling and/or to obtain fluid for analysis to diagnose a joint disorder or problem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Synovectomy is done arthroscopically through a small incision that allows the surgeon to use tiny instruments to remove the excess membrane. By minimizing the growth of the synovial membrane, the body is better able to respond to medication and its own healing ability.

Detailed explanation-5: -Synovectomy surgery removes the inflamed joint tissue (synovium) that is causing unacceptable pain or is limiting your ability to function or your range of motion. Ligaments and other structures may be moved aside to access and remove the inflamed joint lining. The procedure may be done using arthroscopy.
