About Synechiae Release

Synechiae release is a precise ENT surgical procedure performed to separate abnormal adhesions (synechiae) that form between opposing mucosal surfaces within the nasal cavity or between the nasal septum and turbinates. These scar-like bands can develop after trauma, surgery, or chronic inflammation, leading to nasal obstruction, impaired sinus drainage, and breathing difficulties. The procedure, often performed endoscopically, involves carefully lysing (cutting) the adhesions to restore normal nasal anatomy and airflow. It is a targeted intervention aimed at relieving symptoms and preventing complications like recurrent sinusitis, making it a crucial step in restoring nasal function and patient quality of life.

Key Highlights

    Relieves chronic nasal obstruction and improves breathing.Restores normal sinus drainage, reducing the risk of recurrent sinus infections.Minimally invasive endoscopic approach is common, leading to less tissue trauma.Can be performed as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with other sinus/nasal surgeries.Aims to prevent the reformation of adhesions through careful technique and sometimes the use of spacers or stents.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Chronic nasal inflammation from conditions like allergic rhinitis or granulomatous diseases.
  • Failure of conservative management (e.g., nasal steroids, saline irrigation) to relieve symptoms.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive ENT evaluation including nasal endoscopy to visualize the synechiae.
  • Possible CT scan of the sinuses to assess the full extent of involvement and rule out other pathologies.
  • Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, warfarin) as advised by the surgeon.
  • Discussion of medical history, allergies, and anesthesia options (local or general).
  • Fasting for 6-8 hours prior to the procedure if general anesthesia is planned.
  • Arranging for transportation home post-procedure, especially if sedation is used.
