Regional blocks  without  formal General anaesthesia
Nearly all shoulder surgery , including shoulder replacement can now be  performed  by  employing regional anaesthesia and avoiding a formal general anaesthetic. Anaesthetists specially trained in these techniques work  in this unit, thereby making it  a comprehensive service.

Day case surgical procedures
All arthroscopic procedures can now be  performed as day case procedures. The patient has all the evaluation done as an out patient and reports to day case unit directly on the morning of the scheduled surgery (without a formal in-patient admission procedure ) .Day case procedures are always done in the Forenoon session and the  patient is discharged from the day case unit by the evening

Physiotherapy and Rehabilitatation

The tremendous range of movement that the shoulder joint possesses is at the cost of  its intrinsic stability. The  shoulder joint is intrinsically prone for instability, which  can be very obvious in a patient or can be subtle or 'occult' in many patients but can be  the underlying basic reason for many  symptoms of the shoulder. Thus  the role of proper  Rehabilitation  is by far the greatest in the shoulder than in any other part of the body. Moreover Rehab may play the primary role in the management of some shoulder problem with surgical intervention offering only a adjunct or accessory role. A specialised rehab unit is an integral part of  the Apollo shoulder surgery service.
