A bursectomy is the removal of a bursa, which is a small sac filled with synovial fluid that cushions adjacent bone structures and reduces friction in joint movement. This procedure is usually carried out to relieve chronic inflammation (bursitis) or infection, when conservative management has failed to improve patient outcomes.{{cite journal | vauthors = Mitchell JJ, Chahla J, Vap AR, Menge TJ, Soares E, Frank JM, Dean CS, Philippon MJ | title = Endoscopic Trochanteric Bursectomy and Iliotibial Band Release for Persistent Trochanteric Bursitis | journal = Arthrosc Tech | volume = 5 | issue = 5 | pages = e1185–e1189 | date = October 2016 | pmid = 28224075 | pmc = 5310191 | doi = 10.1016/j.eats.2016.07.005 }}
