ENDOSCOPIC NASAL SURGERY
At Synergy Hospital, our ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialists offer advanced Endoscopic Nasal Surgery for the diagnosis and treatment of various nasal and sinus conditions. This minimally invasive procedure allows for precise treatment with minimal discomfort and faster recovery times, helping patients breathe easier and enjoy improved quality of life.
What is Endoscopic Nasal Surgery?
Endoscopic nasal surgery, also known as functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), involves using a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera (endoscope) to access and treat conditions inside the nasal cavity and sinuses. The procedure is done through the nostrils, meaning no external incisions are required.
Conditions Treated with Endoscopic Nasal Surgery
Endoscopic nasal surgery is an effective treatment for a variety of nasal and sinus issues, including:
- Chronic Sinusitis: For patients suffering from recurring or chronic sinus infections, this surgery helps clear blocked sinuses and restore normal drainage.
- Nasal Polyps: Endoscopic surgery can be used to remove polyps, which are non-cancerous growths that cause nasal obstruction and difficulty breathing.
- Deviated Septum: A deviated septum can block airflow through the nose. Endoscopic surgery helps correct this condition, improving breathing and reducing symptoms like nasal congestion and snoring.
- Sinus Tumors and Cysts: Endoscopic surgery allows for the safe removal of benign and malignant tumors, cysts, or other growths in the nasal cavity or sinuses.
- CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid) Leak Repair: Endoscopic techniques are often used to repair leaks of cerebrospinal fluid from the brain into the nasal cavity.
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea: In some cases, endoscopic nasal surgery can help patients with sleep apnea by improving airflow through the nasal passages.
Why Choose Endoscopic Nasal Surgery?
- Minimally Invasive: This procedure is performed entirely through the nostrils, meaning no external cuts or scars. This leads to less pain, faster recovery, and fewer complications compared to traditional open surgery.
- Precision: With the use of an endoscope and advanced imaging techniques, our surgeons can operate with extreme precision, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
- Shorter Recovery Time: Patients typically experience a quicker recovery with less downtime, allowing them to return to daily activities sooner.
- Effective and Long-Lasting Relief: Endoscopic nasal surgery has proven to be highly effective for patients with chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and other nasal obstructions, providing lasting symptom relief.
