Definitive Solution for Chronic Sinusitis: FESS
When the ventilation channels of the sinuses are blocked, chronic sinusitis develops. Severe facial pressure, persistent headaches, loss of smell, and postnasal drip seriously reduce the quality of life. The most effective modern method for cases unresponsive to medication is Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS).
How Does the Surgery Work?
The biggest advantage of the endoscopic method is that no external incisions are made on the face. High-resolution cameras are inserted directly through the nostrils.
- Blocked sinus channels are expanded using millimetric instruments.
- Chronic inflammation and nasal polyps are delicately cleaned.
- The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours, and since it respects the tissues, facial swelling or bruising does not occur.
