Endoscopic Nose Surgeries

Endoscopic nose surgery uses a small camera and specialised instruments to treat selected conditions affecting the nose and sinuses. The procedure is performed through the natural nasal passages, helping avoid large external incisions.

At Masters of Scopy, endoscopic nasal procedures may be considered for patients with persistent nasal or sinus problems when medical treatment is not sufficient.

What Are Endoscopic Nose Surgeries?

Endoscopic nasal surgery involves using a thin endoscope to provide a clear, magnified view inside the nasal passages and sinuses. Specialised instruments can then be used to treat the underlying problem while preserving healthy surrounding tissues where possible.

It may be considered for conditions such as:

• Chronic sinusitis not responding adequately to medical treatment
• Nasal polyps
• Blocked sinus drainage pathways
• Selected nasal or sinus growths
• Other structural conditions affecting nasal breathing or sinus drainage

How Is Endoscopic Nose Surgery Performed?

The surgeon gently introduces an endoscope through the nostril to view the affected area. Specialised instruments are then used to remove blockage, treat diseased tissue or improve sinus drainage, depending on the condition.

The exact procedure depends on the patient's symptoms, examination findings and the condition affecting the nose or sinuses.

Benefits of Endoscopic Nose Surgery

When endoscopic surgery is appropriate, the minimally invasive approach may offer:

• No large external surgical incision
• Clear visualisation of the nasal and sinus passages
• Less disruption to surrounding tissues
• Potentially less postoperative discomfort
• Potentially faster recovery in suitable patients

Evaluation & Recovery

Evaluation may include a detailed nasal examination and, when required, nasal endoscopy or CT scan of the sinuses. These help identify the cause of blockage or sinus problems and guide treatment planning.

Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Your doctor may recommend nasal care, prescribed medicines and follow-up visits while the nasal passages heal.

Are There Any Risks?

Like any procedure, endoscopic nose surgery may involve risks such as bleeding, infection, temporary nasal blockage or other complications. The risks depend on the specific procedure and condition being treated.
