Knee Meniscectomy Cost at Charite University Hospital

Knee Meniscectomy is a type of surgery that's used to treat a damaged meniscus. A meniscus is a structure made of cartilage that helps the knees to work properly.

The Knee Meniscectomy procedure involves three small incisions around the knee, followed by a camera insertion through one of the incisions and tools used to perform the procedure are inserted in the others. All structures in the knee are examined using the camera. The tear is found and a small piece (partial meniscectomy) or the entire (total meniscectomy) meniscus is removed. Finally, the tools and scope are removed, and the incisions are closed with a suture or surgical tape strips.
