Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and other sinus-related conditions. It involves using a small, flexible endoscope to access and remove blockages in the sinuses, improving drainage and relieving symptoms.

Why Is Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Performed?

  • Chronic Sinusitis: To treat persistent sinus infections that don’t respond to medication.
  • Nasal Polyps: To remove abnormal growths that block sinus passages.
  • Sinus Blockage: To clear obstructed sinuses and restore normal drainage.
  • Structural Abnormalities: To correct issues like a deviated septum that contribute to sinus problems.

The Procedure

  • Performed under general anesthesia, typically on an outpatient basis.
  • A thin, flexible endoscope is inserted through the nostrils to visualize the sinuses.
  • Using specialized instruments, the surgeon removes obstructions, such as polyps or infected tissue, and restores sinus drainage.
  • No external incisions are made, and the procedure is guided by real-time images on a monitor.

Recovery and Aftercare

  • Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities within a few days.
  • Swelling and congestion may persist for a few weeks as the sinuses heal.
  • Follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and monitor for any complications.

Benefits of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

  • Minimal Recovery Time: Fast recovery with fewer risks compared to traditional surgery.
  • Improved Breathing: Restores sinus function and alleviates nasal blockages.
  • Reduced Infections: Decreases the frequency of chronic sinus infections.
  • Precision: Targeted treatment that preserves healthy tissue while removing obstructions.
