Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

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.

What Is Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?

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.

Who Needs Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?

Your ENT specialist may recommend Endoscopic Sinus Surgery if you experience any of the following conditions:

  • Chronic sinusitis lasting longer than 12 weeks

  • Nasal polyps
  • Persistent nasal congestion
  • Difficulty breathing through the nose
  • Frequent headaches or facial pressure

Procedures of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

1. In-Depth Evaluation

The ENT surgeon reviews your symptoms and may perform a nasal endoscopy and CT scan to assess the anatomy and condition of the sinuses.

2. Anesthesia

The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the surgery.

3. Endoscopic Access

A thin endoscope is inserted through the nostrils, allowing the surgeon to visualize the sinus passages without external incisions.

4. Clearing Blockages

Specialized instruments are used to remove nasal polyps, inflamed tissue, or other obstructions that prevent proper sinus drainage.

5. Restoring Normal 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.
