Elevating Limited Shoulder Surgery: Pioneering Hybrid Arthroscopic-Open Approach
Sayed Issa AbdulhamidAbstract
HLSSM (Hybrid Shoulder Arthroscopic-Open Surgical Management) presents a viable option for experienced hand surgeons specializing in shoulder arthroscopy and the Mini Lateral Shoulder Approach (MLSA), particularly in regions where arthroscopic release is prohibitively expensive or unavailable [1]. The procedure involves an arthroscopic incision on the posterior lateral edge of the acromion for the entrance of the arthroscope, with a second incision for the probe, each approximately 0.5cm in size (Figure 1).
Once the full characteristics of the lesion—such as size, shape, and topographic location—are identified, the Mini Lateral Shoulder Approach (MLSA), also known as the Second Sayed Issa's Approach, is pursued (Figure 2).
HLSSM offers several advantages, including quicker rehabilitation, faster return to work and daily activities, shorter healing periods, reduced surgical trauma and tissue dissection, and minimized scar tenderness compared to conventional open shoulder release procedures. It results in gentle scarring and favorable cosmetic skin healing, with the entire procedure typically lasting between 35 to 45 minutes.
