Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

ENT treatment in Sarjapur road, Bangalore

Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat sinusitis, a condition in which the sinus cavities become inflamed. The procedure is performed using an endoscope, a thin, flexible tube equipped with a light and a camera. The endoscope is inserted through the nostril and into the sinus cavities. The surgeon then removes the inflamed tissue and opens up the sinus cavities to improve drainage.

Why is the procedure performed?

The goal of endoscopic sinus surgery is to increase nasal airflow while also improving sinus drainage. The symptoms of sinusitis, septal deviations, turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal polyps are also alleviated with endoscopic sinus surgery.

Pre-procedure preparations:

In order to decide whether you are a good candidate for endoscopic sinus surgery, the doctor will examine you, review your CT scan, if one is available, and go over your medical history during the initial appointment. The surgeon will go over the procedure with you, let you know what to expect, and address any worries or questions you may have.

Pre-procedure preparation for endoscopic sinus surgery may include stopping certain medications (such as aspirin or blood thinners), fasting for a period of time before the surgery, and avoiding contact lenses and makeup.

Procedure:

  • Surgery on the sinuses with endoscopes is done while completely unconscious.

  • Endoscopic sinus surgery requires no skin incisions because it is totally done through the nostrils.

  • The nasal cavities and sinuses are directly visible with an endoscope, a narrow camera rod with a light at the end to allow viewing and magnification.

  • A second screen, next to the one showing the endoscope's live views, shows 3-dimensional CAT scan images of the surgical site in real time.

  • Specialised tools are utilised to safely and successfully remove sinus blockage causes like nasal polyps, damaged bone, sick tissue, or scar tissue endoscopically through the nose.

  • The sinuses' natural drainage routes are opened with direct vision and CT guidance.

  • The patient is sent home after the procedure once the anaesthesia's effects have gone off after surgery.

After procedure:

  • For a few days following surgery and for a short while following the first few office visits, you might experience some nosebleeds. If bleeding happens, gently inhale through your nose while leaning your head back slightly. You can use a tissue to gently wipe your nose.

  • Never attempt to wipe the inside of your nose or remove any debris from it. Only your doctor should remove any sutures (stitches) or packing (less frequently) that some people may have.

  • Never attempt to wipe your nose's interior for several weeks. You can be prescribed oral steroids along with antibiotics to treat infection and swelling. As prescribed, take them. Stop taking antibiotics if you get severe diarrhea, and get in touch with your doctor. Book an appointment to know more about treatment procedures.

  • A prescription for a painkiller will be given to you. As prescribed, take your painkillers as often as necessary. Before your first postoperative visit, we advise taking a dose of pain medication around 45 minutes beforehand.

  • After surgery, minimize your activity and avoid exercise for at least two weeks. No bending, heavy lifting (10 pounds or more), or straining is permitted. When it is safe to start exercising again, your surgeon will be able to provide you with advice.
