Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive sinus surgery procedure used to treat chronic sinus conditions by improving drainage and restoring normal sinus function. At Asian ENT Care Centre in Hyderabad, our expert ENT surgeons specialize in performing FESS to treat conditions such as chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and other sinus disorders, providing patients with lasting relief from nasal congestion and other sinus-related symptoms.
FESS is a modern, minimally invasive sinus surgery technique that uses a small endoscope to directly visualize and treat the sinuses.
The procedure aims to remove obstructions such as polyps, infection, or other blockages in the sinuses to restore normal sinus function and improve airflow.
FESS is performed through the nostrils, meaning no external cuts or incisions are made, reducing the risk of complications and promoting faster recovery.
For patients suffering from chronic sinus problems, FESS is considered one of the most effective advanced sinus surgery options available today.
FESS is commonly used to treat chronic or recurrent sinus infections that do not respond to medication or other non-surgical treatments.
Large nasal polyps can block sinus drainage, leading to chronic congestion. FESS helps remove polyps to restore normal sinus function. It is also widely performed as a nose polyps surgery procedure for patients experiencing breathing difficulties, loss of smell, and recurring sinus infections due to nasal polyps.
The procedure can also be used to address structural issues such as a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or other anatomical blockages causing chronic sinus symptoms.
FESS may be used to treat sinus infections caused by fungal infections or other allergens.
For patients who have persistent or recurring sinus infections that do not improve with antibiotics or other treatments, sinus surgery can help improve sinus drainage and reduce the frequency of infections.
FESS is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring the patient is comfortable during the procedure.
The surgeon uses an endoscope (a small camera) inserted through the nostrils to view the sinuses and remove or treat any blockages such as polyps, infected tissue, or structural abnormalities. During nose polyps surgery, the surgeon carefully removes nasal polyps while preserving healthy tissue.
The surgery typically lasts between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case.
Most patients can go home the same day after the procedure. Mild discomfort, nasal congestion, and drainage are common for the first few days after surgery.
Patients with chronic or recurrent sinusitis that hasn’t responded to antibiotics or other treatments.
Patients with large nasal polyps that block sinus drainage and cause symptoms like congestion, loss of smell, and sinus infections. FESS is a highly effective nose polyps surgery option for such cases.
Patients with structural issues such as a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates that contribute to chronic sinus problems.
Patients with sinus infections caused by fungi or allergens that have not improved with medical treatments.
Most patients can return to normal activities within 5 to 7 days. Swelling and congestion may take several weeks to fully subside.
Saline sprays or irrigation may be recommended to keep the nasal passages clean and aid in the healing process.
Mild discomfort or nasal soreness is common but can be managed with over-the-counter medications.
Regular follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor recovery and ensure the sinuses are healing properly after sinus surgery.
