About Sinus Cyst Excision

Sinus cyst excision is a specialized surgical procedure performed by an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) surgeon to remove abnormal fluid-filled sacs (cysts) from the sinus cavities. These cysts, often mucous retention cysts or mucoceles, can develop due to chronic inflammation, infection, or blockage of sinus drainage pathways. The surgery aims to alleviate symptoms like facial pain, pressure, nasal congestion, and recurrent sinus infections, while restoring normal sinus function and drainage. Modern techniques, such as Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), allow for a minimally invasive approach using a small endoscope inserted through the nostrils, resulting in no external incisions, less post-operative discomfort, and a faster recovery. This precise procedure effectively removes the cyst and any associated obstructive tissue to prevent recurrence and improve overall sinus health.

Key Highlights
