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

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.
