Endoscopic Sinus Surgery is a very effective and minimally invasive procedure for treatment of chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps and other sinus disorders unresponsive to medications. Using advanced endoscopic technology, ENT surgeons can restore normal sinus drainage, improve breathing and provide long-lasting relief from chronic sinus infections. Our skilled ENT doctors are dedicated to performing Endoscopic Sinus Surgery with accuracy and safety for the patient.
Endoscopic sinus surgery (also called functional endoscopic sinus surgery, or FESS) is performed with a thin, flexible endoscope with a camera and special instruments. It is performed through the nostrils, without any external cuts or scars.
The goal is to clear obstructions, improve sinus drainage and restore normal sinus function, while preserving healthy tissue.
Your ENT specialist may recommend Endoscopic Sinus Surgery if you experience any of the following conditions:
Endoscopic Sinus Surgery may be beneficial for patients whose symptoms do not improve adequately with medications or other non-surgical treatments.
Restores normal nasal respiration.
Reduces snoring and sleep-related breathing disorders.
Helps to reduce recurrent ear infections and fluid build up.
Reduces the frequency of chronic sinus infections.
Can help hearing that is impaired by fluid behind the ear drum.
Children often sleep better, concentrate better and function better day to day after surgery.
The ENT surgeon reviews your symptoms and may perform a nasal endoscopy and CT scan to assess the anatomy and condition of the sinuses.
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the surgery.
A thin endoscope is inserted through the nostrils, allowing the surgeon to visualize the sinus passages without external incisions.
Specialized instruments are used to remove nasal polyps, inflamed tissue, or other obstructions that prevent proper sinus drainage.
When necessary, the natural openings of the sinuses are enlarged to improve airflow, ventilation, and drainage.
Most patients experience a smooth recovery with gradual improvement in sinus symptoms and breathing.
