Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive
technique used for diagnostic and therapeutic
indications related to rotator cuff tear, recurrent joint
instability and sub‑acromial pathology. It is associated
with benefits such as lesser post‑operative pain and
early rehabilitation as compared to open techniques.
More than 1.4 million shoulder arthroscopies are
carried out each year reflecting the popularity of
the technique.[1] Recent evidences, however, have
increasingly focussed on complications related to use
of irrigation fluid, patient positioning and anaesthesia
during shoulder arthroscopy.[2] Knowledge about the
mechanisms involved in these complications can
result in their early detection, prevention and effective
management
