Sinus surgery is a technique that tries to eliminate obstructions and open the sinuses' channels. Recurrent sinus infections, irregular sinus anatomy, or abnormal sinus growths can all be treated with this procedure. Before resorting to surgery, a doctor will typically try various therapies and procedures. If none of these methods work, then the doctor might suggest surgery. Sinus surgery is a relatively painless procedure.

What is Sinus Surgery?
Sinuses are cavities around the eyes and nose, and the front of the face. These cavities create mucus, which keeps the nasal passages moist. Mucus acts as a barrier, keeping undesired particles such as pollution, dirt, and infectious organisms out. Cilia, which are very fine hair-like cells, line the sinuses. The cilia aid in the drainage of mucus via the sinus passages and into the nose.

Sinus Surgery - Surgical Procedures
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) - The most prevalent type of sinus surgery is functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). It's possible to execute it as an outpatient procedure. A nasal endoscope (a miniature telescope) is used to look into the nostril and see the inside of the nose as well as the sinus openings. Other devices are utilized to do the surgery through the same nostril.
Image-guided surgery - FESS is frequently performed with an image-guided method, which employs computed tomography (CT) images to help the surgeon identify the anatomy and remove as little tissue as possible. This technology alerts the surgeon when they are approaching the sinus margin, increasing safety.
Your doctor will perform a pre-surgery examination and may prescribe medications to avoid infection, edema, or other issues during the treatment. After midnight the night before the surgery, you will be unable to eat or drink anything. Before the procedure, your doctor should inform you of any medications or supplements that may cause bleeding, such as aspirin and ibuprofen. After anesthesia, you must not drive for at least 24 hours.
The procedure will be performed under local or general anesthetic (most commonly general anesthesia). Depending on the type of operation, it could take anywhere from one to three hours or more. You will be transported to a recovery room after the surgery to wake up from the anesthetic. You will be given advice on what to do at home before leaving the operation center to help speed up your recovery and recuperation.
Recovery & Post Operation Take Care
Following the procedure, you should be able to resume your normal routine in a few days. For several weeks following the procedure, you may have crusting or stuffiness in your nose. You may need to change the gauze beneath your nose every few days for the first several days. Your doctor might advise you to sleep with your head elevated and drink plenty of water. You may be prescribed pain relievers or antibiotics if necessary.
Follow-up appointments with your doctor will be required to confirm that the sinuses are healing properly and that any extra blood or mucus is removed. When recovering from sinus surgery, it's critical not to blow your nose. This may result in excessive bleeding.
