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

    Minimally invasive endoscopic approach often used, avoiding external scars.Effectively relieves chronic facial pain, pressure, and nasal obstruction.Reduces the frequency of recurrent sinus infections (sinusitis).Improves sinus drainage and overall nasal airflow.Typically performed as a day procedure or with a very short hospital stay.Precise removal targets the cyst while preserving healthy sinus tissue./ul

  • Chronic facial pain, pressure, or headaches localized to the sinus areas.
  • Significant nasal obstruction or congestion caused by the cyst.
  • Cyst causing blockage of the sinus ostia (drainage openings).
  • Vision problems or eye pressure if a cyst expands near the orbit.
  • Preparation for other sinus procedures where a cyst is obstructing access.
  • Diagnosis of a mucocele, which can expand and erode bone over time.

How to prepare

  • Complete a thorough ENT evaluation, including nasal endoscopy and a CT scan of the sinuses.

  • Undergo pre-operative tests as advised, which may include blood work.
  • Inform your doctor of any allergies, especially to medications or anesthesia.

PATIENT REVIEW

James Gupta, a 42-year-old software project...

James Gupta, a 42-year-old software project manager and father of two, had been struggling for over a year. His symptoms started subtly: a persistent feeling of pressure behind his eyes and a diminished sense of smell. Over time, it escalated into constant, dull facial pain, frequent sinus infections that antibiotics barely touched, and debilitating headaches that made focusing on work impossible. A CT scan ordered by his primary doctor revealed a large mucocele (a type of sinus cyst) in his right frontal sinus, slowly expanding and eroding the bony wall. His ENT, Dr. Evans, explained that while benign, the cyst was causing a blockage and risked further complications. James was terrified of surgery near his eye and brain, but the chronic pain had stolen his joy and energy. The endoscopic sinus cyst excision was performed under general anesthesia. James remembers only waking up with nasal packing. The first 48 hours were uncomfortable, with significant nasal congestion and mild pain managed by medication. He took a week off work. Within two weeks, the congestion cleared. The constant pressure and pain were gone. His sense of smell returned gradually. Emotionally, James moved from a state of anxious frustration and feeling like a burden to his family, to profound relief and gratitude. He regained his ability to be fully present for his children and found a new appreciation for simple pleasures, like breathing freely and enjoying the aroma of his morning coffee.
