Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to address various sinus-related issues. Here are the key points: Purpose and Approach: Purpose: The primary goal of endoscopic sinus surgery is to improve sinus function by removing blockages, treating chronic sinus infections, and addressing other sinus-related problems. Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional open surgery, endoscopic sinus surgery is performed entirely through the nostrils. No external incisions are made on the skin. The Procedure: Endoscope: During the surgery, the surgeon uses an endoscope—a thin, rigid tube equipped with a camera and a light. This endoscope allows visualization of the nasal and sinus cavities. Access Through Nostrils: The surgeon inserts the endoscope through the nostrils, navigating it to reach the sinus cavities. Tissue Removal: Using specialized instruments, the surgeon removes any diseased or obstructive tissue. This may include nasal polyps, inflamed mucosa, or bony obstructions. Balloon Sinuplasty (Optional): In some cases, a balloon catheter may be used to widen blocked sinus openings and improve drainage. No Skin Incisions: Since the entire procedure occurs within the nasal passages, there’s no need for external cuts. Who May Benefit from Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?: Individuals experiencing: Nasal congestion Pain Drainage Difficulty breathing Loss of sense of smell (anosmia) Conditions that may lead to endoscopic sinus surgery include: Sinusitis: Persistent or chronic sinus infections Nasal Polyps Nasal Obstruction or Blockage Sinus and Nasal Tumors Goals of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: Improve sinusitis symptoms Enhance sinus drainage Improve airflow through the nose Restore the sense of smell Allow better access for nasal rinses and medication delivery Preparation: General Anesthesia: Since you’ll be under general anesthesia during the procedure, you’ll be instructed not to eat or drink after midnight before surgery. Medications and Preoperative Steps: Your surgical team will guide you on medications, lab tests, and other preparations. Smoking Cessation: Stopping smoking is crucial for successful healing after endoscopic sinus surgery. Avoid Certain Medications: Some medications (like aspirin and certain supplements) should be stopped before surgery to reduce bleeding risk. Recovery: Common After-Surgery Effects: Expect minor bleeding, pain, congestion, discharge, and fatigue. These usually resolve within one to three weeks. Follow Post-Op Instructions: Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines for a smooth recovery.
