About Nasal Polyps

Nasal polypectomy is a specialized ENT surgical procedure performed to remove benign, non-cancerous growths called nasal polyps from the nasal passages and sinuses. These soft, painless growths can cause significant nasal obstruction, loss of smell (anosmia), facial pressure, and recurrent sinus infections. The procedure is typically performed endoscopically, using a thin, lighted tube (endoscope) and specialized micro-instruments inserted through the nostrils, eliminating the need for external incisions. This minimally invasive approach allows the surgeon to precisely remove the polyps while preserving healthy tissue, restoring normal nasal airflow and sinus drainage. It is often recommended when medical management with nasal steroids and other medications fails to provide adequate relief from symptoms.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive endoscopic technique, often with no external scars.Significantly improves nasal breathing and reduces congestion.Can restore the sense of smell (anosmia) in many patients.Reduces frequency and severity of sinus infections.Alleviates facial pain and pressure associated with blocked sinuses.Performed as a day procedure, typically allowing same-day discharge.liHigh success rate in providing symptomatic relief when medication fails./li/ul

Who is this surgery for?

Chronic nasal obstruction and congestion unresponsive to medical therapy.
Significant loss or complete absence of sense of smell (anosmia).
Recurrent or chronic sinusitis (sinus infections) caused by polyps blocking drainage.
Persistent facial pain, pressure, or headaches.
Presence of large polyps causing visible nasal deformity or widening of the nose.
Suspicion of a neoplastic (tumor) process, requiring biopsy.
Complications like obstructive sleep apnea or asthma exacerbations linked to nasal polyps.

How to prepare

Complete a thorough ENT evaluation, including nasal endoscopy and possibly a CT scan of the sinuses.
Discontinue blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, warfarin) as advised by your surgeon, typically 7-10 days prior.
Inform your doctor of all medications, supplements, and allergies.
May be prescribed a course of oral steroids before surgery to reduce polyp size and inflammation.
Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
Fast (no food or drink) for 6-8 hours before the surgery as per anesthesia guidelines.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding during or after the procedure, which is usually minor.
Recurrence of polyps, as the procedure treats symptoms but not the underlying cause.
Infection of the sinuses or surrounding tissues.
Injury to surrounding structures like the eye orbit or skull base (very rare with experienced surgeons).
Persistent nasal dryness or crusting during healing.
Temporary or, rarely, permanent change in sense of smell or taste.
Adverse reactions to anesthesia.
Scar tissue formation (synechiae) causing new blockage.

Recovery & hospital stay

Expect mild discomfort, nasal stuffiness, and blood-tinged drainage for a few days.
Use saline nasal sprays or irrigations frequently (as directed) to moisten the nose and clear crusts.
Avoid blowing your nose forcefully for at least one week.
Refrain from strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and bending over for 1-2 weeks.
Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling.
Attend all follow-up appointments for nasal endoscopic cleaning and monitoring of healing.
Long-term use of prescribed nasal steroid sprays is often necessary to prevent polyp recurrence.
Avoid dusty or smoky environments during the initial recovery phase.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (Typically day care)
Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks for initial recovery; full healing may take 4-6 weeks
