Definition
Endoscopic surgery for nasal polyps offers a minimally invasive solution for individuals suffering from nasal polyps. This procedure, conducted under general anesthesia, involves the use of advanced techniques to address the symptoms and complications associated with nasal polyps.
Procedure Overview:
During endoscopic surgery for nasal polyps, a small 4 mm endoscope equipped with a camera is delicately inserted into the nasal passages. This enables the surgeon to obtain a comprehensive visual examination of the nasal cavity and sinuses with precision and clarity.
Surgical Technique:
Utilizing specialized instruments, the surgeon performs meticulous maneuvers through small incisions. These instruments are adept at excising the nasal polyps and addressing any obstructions within the nasal passages. This targeted approach ensures the effective removal of polyps while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.
Benefits:
1. Minimally Invasive: Endoscopic surgery for nasal polyps is characterized by its minimally invasive nature, resulting in reduced trauma to the surrounding tissues and quicker recovery times for patients.
2. Improved Visualization: The utilization of an endoscope provides the surgeon with enhanced visualization of the nasal anatomy, allowing for precise identification and removal of polyps.
3. Enhanced Nasal Airflow: By removing obstructive nasal polyps, the procedure restores proper nasal airflow, alleviating symptoms such as congestion, difficulty breathing, and impaired sense of smell.
4. Symptom Relief: Patients undergoing endoscopic surgery often experience significant relief from symptoms associated with nasal polyps, such as nasal congestion, facial pressure, and headaches.
5. Customized Treatment: Endoscopic surgery allows for a tailored approach to address the specific needs of each patient, ensuring optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.
