About Sinusitis

Sinusitis is the inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses, the air-filled spaces within the bones around the nose. An ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist, or otolaryngologist, manages this condition through a comprehensive approach. Treatment begins with conservative medical management, including nasal sprays, decongestants, and antibiotics for bacterial infections. For chronic or recurrent sinusitis unresponsive to medication, the ENT may recommend endoscopic sinus surgery. This minimally invasive procedure uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) to visualize and open blocked sinus passages, remove polyps, or correct structural issues like a deviated septum, restoring normal sinus drainage and function.

Key Highlights

Provides long-term relief from chronic sinus pressure, pain, and congestion.Minimally invasive endoscopic techniques often lead to less pain and faster recovery.Improves sinus drainage and ventilation, reducing the frequency of infections.Can enhance sense of smell and overall quality of life.Addresses underlying structural problems like nasal polyps or a deviated septum.

Who is this surgery for?

Chronic sinusitis lasting 12 weeks or more despite medical therapy.
Recurrent acute sinusitis (four or more episodes per year).
Sinusitis complicated by nasal polyps or a fungal infection.
Anatomical blockages such as a severely deviated nasal septum.
Symptoms like facial pain, persistent nasal obstruction, or reduced sense of smell that significantly impact daily life.

How to prepare

Complete a thorough ENT evaluation, which may include a nasal endoscopy and CT scan of the sinuses.
Discontinue certain medications like blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin) as advised by your doctor.
Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure and assist you for the first 24 hours.
Follow fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight) if general anesthesia is planned.

Saline nasal irrigation is crucial several times a day to keep the surgical area clean and moist.
Avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and blowing your nose forcefully for 1-2 weeks.

Full recovery and final results, including improved breathing, may take several weeks as swelling subsides.
