Nose Endoscopy

Nose Endoscopy

Nose endoscopy, or nasal endoscopy, is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows detailed visualization of the nasal passages and sinus structures. It is a quick and minimally invasive method to evaluate and treat various nasal and sinus issues effectively.

How Is Nose Endoscopy Performed?

  • A thin, flexible or rigid endoscope equipped with a high-definition camera and light source is gently inserted into the nasal cavity.
  • The real-time visuals are displayed on a monitor, enabling the ENT specialist to examine the inner nasal structures thoroughly.

When Is Nose Endoscopy Recommended?

Nose endoscopy is useful in diagnosing and managing:

  • Chronic Sinusitis: Persistent inflammation or infection of the sinuses.
  • Nasal Polyps: Abnormal growths in the nasal passages or sinuses.
  • Nasal Obstruction: Blockages caused by structural abnormalities like a deviated septum.
  • Bleeding Disorders: Identifying the source of recurrent or unexplained nosebleeds.
  • Tumors or Masses: Detecting and evaluating abnormal growths.
  • Allergic Rhinitis: Assessing inflammation caused by allergies.

Benefits of Nose Endoscopy

  • Precision: High-definition imaging provides accurate diagnosis.
  • Minimally Invasive: No incisions or surgical intervention required.
  • Versatility: Can assist in both diagnosis and minor treatments.
  • Comfortable Recovery: Minimal discomfort with no downtime.

Why Consider Nose Endoscopy?

Nose endoscopy is a safe and effective way to address nasal and sinus conditions. It allows ENT specialists to detect issues early, develop targeted treatment plans, and improve nasal health and overall breathing quality.
