Sinusitis, also known as sinusitis, is a very common ear, nose and throat condition. Sinuses are air-filled cavities that open from the nasal cavity. When these cavities become inflamed, fluid can accumulate in them, and the mucous membrane of the cavity becomes inflamed and swollen. This condition is called sinusitis.
Nasal polyps are benign overgrowths of the nasal mucosa, often resembling polyps. Nasal polyps can occur in the nasal cavity and sinuses. Watery, jelly-like formations may occur in both nasal cavities, even filling the whole cavity.
– sore throat
– pain around the eyes, face, nose or forehead, tenderness, swelling
– nasal congestion
– difficulty breathing
– reduced sense of smell and taste
– coughing
– bad breath
– tiredness
In the case of chronic, non-healing sinusitis, nasal polyposis, surgery is recommended, always determined by an ENT specialist.
The surgical treatment of the disease is performed by endoscopic surgery (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: FESS), which enlarges the natural openings between the nasal cavity and the sinus in the lower or middle nasal passage, thus allowing the cavities to ventilate.
Nasal polyp surgery aims to clear the nasal cavity and passages, so that nasal breathing and ventilation of the sinuses is restored. Medication is needed to prevent the development of new polyps. With advances in imaging, CT, MRI and surgical techniques, and the advent of increasingly effective drugs, nasal polyps are now less likely to recur.
The surgery is performed endoscopically, so no external skin incision is needed. The surgeon performs the planned operation on the anatomical structures of the nose with the help of a special optical instrument, the endoscope, inserted through the nostrils, under the control of the eye. He opens the fibrous cells from the inside of the nose, removes diseased mucous membranes that are no longer able to heal themselves, including polyps if present, and frees and dilates the natural oral cavities of the paranasal sinuses. The surgeon operates with microsurgical instruments alongside the endoscope, and at the end of the operation, depending on the bleeding, a tampon may be placed in the nose, but this is not common. In a sinus endoscopy (sinuscopy), a thicker puncture instrument (trocar) is passed through the anterior or lateral (side) bony wall of the sinus, through which an endoscope can be inserted into the sinus.
