    A meniscectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of all or part of a damaged meniscus in the knee. The meniscus is a type of cartilage in the knee joint that acts as a shock absorber between the thigh bone and the shin bone. The surgery can be performed through an arthroscopic method, whereby a tiny camera is inserted into the knee through a small incision to guide the surgeon in the operation.
