Sinus Surgery

Sinus Surgery

Sinus surgery refers to a range of specialized surgical procedures performed to treat chronic or severe sinus conditions that have not responded adequately to medications, nasal sprays, or other conservative treatments. The sinuses are air-filled cavities located around the nose and forehead that can become persistently blocked, infected, or inflamed, causing significant discomfort and breathing difficulty. Surgical intervention aims to clear obstructions, restore normal sinus drainage, and improve overall nasal and sinus health for long-term relief. With advanced minimally invasive techniques, sinus surgery is safe, precise, and delivers lasting improvement in breathing and quality of life.

Common Sinus Surgeries

• Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS): The most widely performed sinus surgery, using a thin flexible camera called an endoscope to remove diseased tissue, clear blocked sinus openings, and restore normal drainage pathways with minimal disruption to surrounding structures
• Balloon Sinuplasty: A minimally invasive procedure where a small balloon catheter is gently inserted into the blocked sinus opening and inflated to widen and restructure the sinus passage without removing any tissue, allowing natural drainage to resume
• Caldwell-Luc Procedure: A surgical approach to access and clean the maxillary sinus — located in the cheek area — used for severe or complicated sinus infections not accessible through standard endoscopic techniques
• Nasal Polypectomy: Surgical removal of nasal polyps blocking the sinus openings and nasal passages, restoring airflow, sense of smell, and reducing recurrent sinus infections
• Septoplasty with Sinus Surgery: Combined correction of a deviated nasal septum alongside sinus surgery to address both structural nasal obstruction and sinus disease simultaneously for comprehensive relief
• Image-Guided Sinus Surgery: An advanced surgical technique using real-time imaging technology to navigate complex sinus anatomy with greater precision, particularly in revision cases or anatomically challenging situations

Treatment and Process

Every sinus surgery begins with a comprehensive preoperative assessment including a detailed nasal examination, nasal endoscopy, and a CT scan of the sinuses to accurately map the sinus anatomy and identify the extent of disease. Based on the findings, the most suitable surgical procedure is carefully selected to address the specific condition and patient needs. Surgeries are performed under general anesthesia in a controlled clinical environment with full patient monitoring throughout the procedure. Postoperative care is an essential part of recovery and includes regular nasal saline irrigation to keep the nasal passages clean, prescribed medications to prevent infection and reduce inflammation, activity restrictions during the initial healing period, and scheduled follow-up visits with nasal endoscopy to monitor sinus healing and ensure complete recovery. Most patients experience significant and lasting relief from nasal congestion, facial pressure, and breathing difficulty following sinus surgery.
