Surgery for Nasal Polyps and Chronic Sinusitis

Nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis are conditions that, over time, may take a significant toll on your peace of mind and well-being. When these ailments do not respond to medication or non-invasive solutions, surgery may be the best option for relieving your symptoms.

Find Your ENT Request Appointment

Our highly trained, knowledgeable ENT providers will evaluate your sinus concerns and create a treatment plan that will positively impact your quality of life. Surgical procedures for nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis are performed endoscopically, meaning the doctor will use a tiny tubular camera to clearly perceive the nasal cavities. This ensures a painstakingly precise approach that is the foundation of a successful outcome.

Procedure Overview

Surgery for nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis is performed under general anesthesia, which ensures you are perfectly relaxed and comfortable during your treatment. Incisions are created inside the nostrils, so scarring is well-hidden and inconspicuous.

As a first step, your provider will insert the endoscope inside the nose. This device utilizes a tiny camera and light to transmit high-quality images to a monitor, giving the doctor a clear view of your internal nasal structures. Your practitioner will then use specialized tools to gently remove tissue and polyps that may be blocking the sinuses. Once the surgery is complete, your nose will begin to drain more normally, and symptoms of discomfort will dissipate.

Procedure Candidacy

Those patients who are experiencing chronic sinus headaches, facial pain, and breathing problems related to polyps in the nose may be excellent candidates for surgery, especially if medication has not relieved their symptoms in the past. Our qualified, board-certified ENT surgeons will assess your condition and determine if you are eligible for surgery during a private, in-depth consultation.

Your Experience

Before surgery, our team will carefully evaluate you to double-check that surgery is truly the best solution for you. We will delve into your medical history, examine your nose, and listen carefully to your list of symptoms.

Once the surgery is decided upon as the best option, you will be sedated with general anesthesia. The ENT surgeon will then insert an endoscope within the nose to preview the area on a monitor. The tiny camera enables the surgeon to act with the highest degree of precision possible as they remove polyps and nasal tissue that is at the root of your blockage. The surgery takes several hours, after which you will be able to leave the office and continue your recovery in the privacy of your own home.
