Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: A Minimally Invasive Solution for Sinus Problems

Expert Care at Dr Agneesh Patial’s Insight ENT Clinic And Daycare Centre

Do you suffer from chronic sinus infections, nasal congestion, or persistent sinus pressure that doesn’t respond to medication? If so, Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) may be the solution you need for long-term relief.

At Dr Agneesh Patial’s Insight ENT Clinic And Daycare Centre, we specialize in minimally invasive sinus treatments that restore normal sinus function, helping patients breathe easier and live more comfortably.

What is Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat sinus infections, nasal polyps, and chronic sinusitis that do not respond to medications. Unlike traditional sinus surgery, ESS requires no external incisions. Instead, a small, flexible endoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is inserted into the nasal passages to remove blockages and improve airflow.

Who Needs Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?

FESS is recommended for patients who suffer from:

Chronic Sinusitis: Recurring sinus infections that last more than 12 weeks despite medical treatment.
Nasal Polyps: Noncancerous growths that block the nasal passages and cause breathing difficulties.
Deviated Nasal Septum: A misaligned nasal septum that obstructs airflow and contributes to sinus infections.
Sinus Headaches & Facial Pain: Persistent pressure around the eyes, forehead, and cheeks due to blocked sinuses.
Fungal Sinus Infections– When antifungal medications are ineffective, surgery may be needed to clear the infection.

Benefits of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery:

Minimally Invasive: No external cuts or scars.
Shorter Recovery Time– Most patients recover within a few days to a week.
Less Pain & Bleeding– Compared to traditional sinus surgery, ESS is gentler and causes less discomfort.
Improved Breathing & Sinus Drainage– Helps clear blocked sinuses and restore normal airflow.
Reduced Dependence on Medications– Less reliance on antibiotics and decongestants for sinus relief.

What to Expect During the Procedure?

Preparation: The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesiafor maximum comfort.
Endoscope Insertion: A tiny camera-equipped endoscopeis inserted into the nasal passages.
Removal of Blockages: Specialized surgical instruments are used to remove polyps, scar tissue, or inflamed sinus tissue.
Sinus Drainage Improvement: Blocked sinus openings are widened to allow for better drainage and airflow, this intricate surgery is done with the help powered instrument called Medtronic MicroDebrider System.
Post surgery the nasal cavities are packed with nasal packed which are removed after 1-2 days.
Completion & Recovery: The procedure typically lasts 1–2 hours, and most patients can return home the same day.

Recovery & Aftercare

After Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, proper aftercare ensures faster healing and long-lasting relief:

Avoid Blowing Your Nose– This prevents irritation and allows healing.
Use Saline Nasal Rinses– Helps keep nasal passages clean and moist.
Take Prescribed Medications– Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications may be given.
Limit Strenuous Activities– Avoid heavy lifting and exercise for a few days.
Follow Up with Your ENT Specialist– Regular check-ups ensure smooth recovery.
