Endoscopic sinus surgery

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed to restore normal drainage and ventilation of the paranasal sinuses by removing obstructive or diseased tissue. It is commonly indicated for chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal polyps, and certain sinus tumors. The procedure utilizes a nasal endoscope inserted through the nostrils, eliminating the need for external incisions. Image-guided navigation systems may be used for enhanced precision and safety. Postoperative care includes nasal irrigation, topical corticosteroids, and follow-up endoscopic cleaning to promote healing and prevent recurrence.
