Sinus Endoscopy

Sinus Endoscopy

Sinus endoscopy, also known as diagnostic nasal endoscopy, is a specialized procedure used to examine the sinus openings and nasal passages in detail. It helps in diagnosing and treating a variety of sinus and nasal conditions effectively and efficiently.

How Is Sinus Endoscopy Performed?

  • A thin, flexible or rigid endoscope with a camera and light is gently inserted into the nasal cavity.
  • The detailed visuals of the sinuses and nasal structures are displayed on a monitor, enabling the ENT specialist to evaluate and treat the condition accurately.

When Is Sinus Endoscopy Recommended?

Sinus endoscopy is commonly used for:

  • Chronic Sinusitis: Diagnosing persistent inflammation or infections in the sinuses.
  • Nasal Polyps: Evaluating and managing growths that block sinus passages.
  • Sinus Drainage Issues: Identifying blockages affecting sinus ventilation.
  • Recurrent Infections: Investigating repeated sinus infections or complications.
  • Structural Abnormalities: Assessing issues like a deviated septum or sinus deformities.

Benefits of Sinus Endoscopy

  • Detailed Visualization: Provides a clear, magnified view of the sinuses.
  • Minimally Invasive: No external incisions or surgery required.
  • Targeted Treatment: Enables procedures like polyp removal or sinus drainage during the same session.
  • Quick Recovery: Causes minimal discomfort and allows for a rapid return to daily activities.

Why Opt for Sinus Endoscopy?

Sinus endoscopy is an essential tool for managing sinus problems effectively. It helps diagnose underlying issues early and facilitates precise, minimally invasive treatments to enhance breathing and overall nasal health.
