At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, we perform polypectomy to effectively remove nasal polyps that obstruct airflow and contribute to chronic sinus problems. Our experienced ENT specialists utilize modern, minimally invasive techniques to restore nasal breathing and sinus function.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Nasal polyps are soft, noncancerous growths that can develop due to chronic inflammation, allergies, or infections. Polypectomy is a surgical procedure to remove these polyps from the nasal passages and sinuses, offering significant relief from congestion and sinus discomfort.

ANESTHESIA & PREPARATION

The procedure can be done under local or general anesthesia based on the number and location of the polyps. Preoperative evaluations include nasal endoscopy, imaging (CT scan), and a review of the patient’s symptoms and medical history.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Using a nasal endoscope and precision instruments, the surgeon carefully removes the polyps without affecting surrounding structures. In some cases, polypectomy is combined with sinus surgery (FESS) for complete and lasting relief.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE APPROACHES

Endoscopic polypectomy is performed entirely through the nostrils with no external cuts. This technique minimizes trauma, reduces recovery time, and enhances surgical accuracy with magnified views of the nasal cavity.

CLOSURE & RECOVERY

As the procedure is minimally invasive, no sutures are required. Nasal packing may be used to control bleeding and support healing. Most patients experience immediate relief from obstruction and can return home the same day.

POST-SURGICAL CARE

Postoperative care includes saline nasal sprays, prescribed medications, and avoiding allergens or irritants. Follow-up visits are important to monitor healing and prevent recurrence of polyps.

CONCLUSION

At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, our patient-focused approach to polypectomy ensures effective removal of nasal polyps and long-term improvement in nasal breathing, sinus health, and quality of life.
