What Can Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Do?

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a specialized intervention targeting chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and sinus blockages. These conditions often lead to symptoms like facial pain, congestion, and difficulty breathing through the nose. If you are suffering from recurrent sinus issues, chronic sinusitis that hasn’t responded to conservative treatments, or if you have nasal polyps, this surgery may be a suitable option for you.

What are the Benefits of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery at Florida ENT Associates?

One of the primary advantages lies in its minimally invasive nature. Compared to traditional approaches, endoscopic sinus surgery involves fewer incisions, resulting in less discomfort and quicker recovery. By directly addressing the root causes, this surgery aims to provide long-term relief from recurrent sinus issues.

What can I expect on the day of my endoscopic sinus surgery?

The procedure consists of several steps:

  • Anesthesia: Before your surgery begins, your surgeon will administer local or general anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.
  • Endoscope Insertion: Next, we will guide a thin, flexible endoscope with a camera into your sinuses through your nostrils, providing a clear view of the affected areas.
  • Tissue Removal: Using specialized instruments, your surgeon will remove any obstructions, polyps, or damaged tissue hindering proper sinus function.
  • Closing Incisions: In most cases, no external incisions are needed, as the procedure is performed entirely through the nostrils.
