Traditional Sinus Surgery
UNDERSTANDING THE TREATMENT
Traditional Sinus Surgery
Also known as functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), this procedure uses a thin, lighted endoscope to access the sinuses through the nostrils, with no external incisions. It's typically recommended when chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, or fungal sinus disease haven't responded to medication or less invasive treatments.
WHAT TO EXPECT
understanding the procedure
The goal of FESS is to open up the sinuses, allowing normal drainage of fluids to occur. Without proper ventilation, mucus builds up in the sinuses, leading to infection. To determine if you are a candidate for FESS, your doctor will thoroughly examine your ears, nose and throat, looking for obstructions and other abnormalities such as nasal polyps.
FESS is usually performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. An endoscope is inserted in the nose, and the camera is used to visually inspect the sinus openings. The surgeon relies on these images in order to remove excess obstructive tissue.
