A synovectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the synovial membrane from a joint. The synovial membrane is a thin layer of tissue that lines the inside of joints and produces synovial fluid, which lubricates and nourishes the joint.
A synovectomy is typically performed to treat joint conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, synovial chondromatosis, and pigmented villonodular synovitis, which can cause inflammation of the synovial membrane and damage to the joint.
The procedure can be performed using different techniques, including open surgery, arthroscopy, or a combination of both. Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual's overall health, but most patients are able to resume normal activities within a few weeks.
While a synovectomy can provide relief from joint pain and inflammation, it is not a guaranteed cure and may need to be repeated in the future. As with any surgery, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, and nerve or tissue damage.
