Sinus surgery, a specialised ENT procedure, is commonly recommended for individuals with chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, blocked sinus passages, recurrent sinus infections, or structural abnormalities affecting normal sinus drainage and breathing. By removing blockages, inflamed tissue, or nasal polyps and improving sinus airflow, the procedure helps relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion, facial pressure, headaches, breathing difficulty, and a reduced sense of smell, while improving overall quality of life.
Sinus surgery is commonly performed using minimally invasive techniques such as Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), where an endoscope is inserted through the nostrils without external incisions. The procedure may involve widening sinus openings, removing polyps, correcting structural issues, or clearing infected tissue to restore normal drainage. Performed under general anaesthesia, it typically takes 1–3 hours. With proper post-operative care, most patients experience improved breathing, fewer infections, and long-term relief from sinus symptoms.

What is Sinus Surgery?

Sinus Surgery is a specialised procedure used to treat chronic or recurrent sinus conditions that do not improve with medication. It is commonly recommended for chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, blocked sinus passages, recurrent infections, and structural abnormalities. Most surgeries are performed using Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), a minimally invasive technique that uses an endoscope inserted through the nostrils to remove blockages and restore normal sinus drainage. Sinus surgery helps relieve nasal congestion, facial pain, breathing difficulties, headaches, and loss of smell, improving overall sinus function and quality of life.

Types of Sinus Surgery

There are several types of sinus surgery, and the choice of procedure depends on the severity of the sinus condition, the underlying cause, and the patient’s overall health. Common types include:

  • Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS): Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery involves inserting an endoscope through the nostrils to remove blockages, inflamed tissue, or nasal polyps..
  • Balloon Sinuplasty: Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small balloon catheter is inserted into the blocked sinus passage and gently inflated to widen the sinus opening.
  • Septoplasty: Septoplasty is performed to correct a deviated nasal septum that may obstruct airflow and interfere with normal sinus drainage. This procedure is often combined with other sinus surgeries to improve breathing and reduce sinus infections.
  • Polypectomy: A polypectomy involves the removal of nasal polyps that block the nasal passages and sinuses. It is commonly performed using endoscopic techniques to restore airflow and reduce chronic inflammation.
  • Image-Guided Sinus Surgery: Image-guided sinus surgery uses advanced navigation technology and CT imaging to help surgeons operate with greater precision, especially in complex sinus conditions or revision surgeries.
  • Caldwell-Luc Surgery: Caldwell-Luc surgery is an open procedure used for severe or complex maxillary sinus disease. It involves creating an opening through the upper jaw area to access and treat the sinus cavity.
  • Turbinate Reduction Surgery: This procedure reduces the size of enlarged nasal turbinates that contribute to nasal obstruction and breathing difficulty. It is often combined with sinus surgery to improve the airway.

Sinus Surgery: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care

Sinus Surgery involves careful management before, during, and after the procedure to ensure patient safety, smooth recovery, and long-term relief from sinus-related symptoms. Proper care at every stage helps improve surgical outcomes, reduce complications, and support better breathing and sinus function.

Pre-operative Care

Before surgery, patients undergo nasal endoscopy, CT imaging, blood investigations, and a review of medical history and current medications. Avoiding smoking, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications before surgery is recommended. Instructions regarding fasting and medication management are also provided to ensure safe anaesthesia and a smooth procedure.

Intra-operative Care

Most procedures are performed using minimally invasive endoscopic techniques, allowing the surgeon to access the sinus passages through the nostrils without external incisions. Using specialised instruments, the surgeon removes blockages, inflamed tissue, or nasal polyps to restore normal sinus drainage and airflow. Continuous monitoring of vital signs throughout the procedure helps maintain patient safety.

Post-operative Care

After surgery, patients are monitored for bleeding, swelling, and recovery from anaesthesia. Medications such as pain relievers, antibiotics, saline rinses, and nasal sprays may be prescribed to support healing and prevent infection. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities, smoking, heavy lifting, and forceful nose blowing for a few weeks.

FAQ's

Sinus Surgery is a procedure used to treat chronic or recurrent sinus problems that do not improve with medications or other treatments.

It is commonly recommended for people with chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, blocked sinuses, or repeated sinus infections.

FESS is a minimally invasive procedure performed through the nostrils using a thin endoscope to remove blockages and improve sinus drainage.

The surgery is performed under anaesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort or congestion may occur during recovery.

Most sinus surgeries usually take about 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the condition.

Most patients recover within a few days to two weeks, although complete healing may take longer.

Most sinus surgeries are performed endoscopically through the nostrils, so there are usually no visible external scars.

The surgery can improve breathing, reduce sinus infections, relieve facial pressure, and improve overall quality of life.

Possible risks include bleeding, infection, swelling, or recurrence of symptoms, though serious complications are uncommon.

In some cases, sinus issues may recur, especially in patients with allergies or chronic inflammation, but proper follow-up care can help reduce the risk.
