Ent surgery for chronic sinusitis
Sinusitis is a common condition that causes inflammation in the sinuses, resulting in symptoms such as facial pain, headache, and nasal congestion.
When conservative treatments like medications and nasal sprays fail to provide relief, ENT surgery may be recommended. ENT surgery for sinusitis aims to remove blockages in the sinuses, improve drainage, and alleviate symptoms.
There are different surgical procedures available depending on the severity and cause of the sinusitis.
These may include endoscopic sinus surgery, which uses a thin tube with a camera to remove blockages, or balloon sinuplasty, which involves inserting a small balloon into the sinuses to widen the passages.
ENT surgery for sinusitis is usually performed under general anesthesia and requires a recovery period of a few days to a couple of weeks. It is important to consult with an experienced ENT specialist to determine the most suitable surgical approach for sinusitis.
