What are surgical treatments for shoulder bursitis?

If symptoms get worse or don’t improve with nonsurgical treatments, your healthcare provider may recommend surgery. This surgery may take place arthroscopically using small incisions and a tiny camera (arthroscope).

Your provider may remove:

• Damaged tissue that presses on and irritates the bursae.
• Inflamed bursae to make room for the tendons and bones to move.
