Minimally Invasive Sinus Treatment & Surgery

  • Purpose: The primary objective is to treat sinus conditions such as chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, or sinus blockages with less disruption to normal tissues.
  • Techniques:
    • Endoscopic Approach: Involves the use of an endoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end, which is inserted through the nostrils to visualize and treat sinus structures.
    • No Incisions: No external incisions at all, as instruments are guided through the natural openings of the sinuses.
  • Advantages of Minimally Invasive Sinus Surgery:

    • Faster Recovery: Smaller incisions and reduced tissue disruption typically lead to quicker healing and recovery.
    • Reduced Pain and Discomfort: Patients often experience less postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgeries.
    • Preservation of Normal Anatomy: Minimally invasive techniques aim to preserve healthy tissues and structures, minimizing the risk of complications.
