At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is performed to treat chronic sinusitis and related sinus conditions. Using advanced endoscopic tools, our skilled ENT surgeons restore normal sinus drainage and relieve persistent nasal symptoms with precision and care.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

FESS is a minimally invasive technique to clear blocked sinuses by removing diseased tissue, nasal polyps, or bone obstructions. The goal is to open the natural sinus pathways and improve ventilation, drainage, and overall sinus function.

ANESTHESIA & PREPARATION

The procedure is performed under general or local anesthesia depending on the case. Preoperative evaluation includes nasal endoscopy, CT scan, and a complete assessment to customize the surgical plan and ensure optimal outcomes.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

A thin, flexible endoscope is inserted through the nostrils, providing a magnified view of the sinus cavities. Specialized instruments are used to remove obstructions and widen the natural sinus openings—all without external incisions.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE APPROACHES

FESS is entirely endonasal (performed through the nose), resulting in minimal tissue disruption, no visible scars, and reduced postoperative discomfort. This modern approach ensures quicker recovery and excellent surgical precision.

CLOSURE & RECOVERY

Since the procedure is minimally invasive, there are no external stitches. Nasal packing may be used temporarily. Most patients can return home the same day and resume normal activities within a few days, depending on their recovery.

POST-SURGICAL CARE

Postoperative care includes nasal rinses, prescribed medications, and follow-up visits for cleaning and monitoring healing. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and nasal irritants during the healing phase.

CONCLUSION
