The methods shown provide for the minimization of extravasation during arthroscopic surgery. Use of an anti-extravasation sheath having at least one drainage aperture allows a surgeon to drain excess fluids from the tissue surrounding the surgical field during an arthroscopic surgical procedures when the drainage aperture is disposed within the tissue surrounding an arthroscopic surgical field outside of the joint capsule. The method of performing arthroscopic surgery may further include providing fluid inflow and outflow to the joint capsule through inflow/outflow holes in the anti-extravasation sheath.
