Endoscopy Specialist in Sydney

Serving Bella Vista, Campbelltown & Kogarah

Where possible, Dr. Kuzinkovas uses a minimally invasive endoscopic approach. This approach is a very common surgical procedure and has noted benefits.

In some cases, Dr Kuzinkovas may need to perform as an Endoscopy. This surgical procedure can be used for:

diagnosis - to clearly view targeted regions inside the body
treatment - to affect a minimally invasive outcome

An Endoscope is a device that is inserted into the joint the Endoscope includes a tiny camera that is connected a screen used by Dr Kuzinkovas to see inside your joint.

If necessary other surgical instruments can be inserted through the Endoscope or through additional small incisions. These other instruments can be used to perform cleaning, cutting or removal of material from the joint.

The term ‘Endoscope’ comes from two Greek words, endo-, meaning inside, and -skopein, meaning to examine.

The benefits of Endoscopy include
smaller incisions with little scarring
faster postoperative recovery
less pain and lower complication rates
easier recovery

Dr Kuzinkovas can perform some endoscopic surgical procedures on an outpatient basis. This means patients can return home the same day of the procedure.

Using this method also enables Dr Kuzinkovas to examine the internal structures regionally and where necessary treat these structures (if necessary) at the same time
