Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

 Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

A Minimally Invasive Solution for Chronic Sinus Problems

When medication isn’t enough, endoscopic sinus surgery offers long-lasting relief from chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and blocked sinus passages. At ENT Sinus Center of Orlando, our specialists use advanced, image-guided techniques to restore healthy sinus function with minimal downtime.

  • Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure used to remove blockages in the sinuses. Using a thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope), your ENT specialist can see and access the sinus passages without external incisions.
    This technique allows for:● Removal of nasal polyps● Correction of structural issues like a deviated septum● Drainage of infected or blocked sinuses● Improved airflow and sinus drainage

  • You may be a candidate for endoscopic sinus surgery if you:● Have chronic sinusitis that hasn’t improved with medication● Suffer from recurrent sinus infections● Have nasal polyps, tumors, or fungal infections● Experience nasal congestion or breathing difficulties● Need structural correction (e.g., deviated septum, narrow sinus openings)

  • ● No external cuts or scars● Less tissue disruption and faster recovery● Performed under local or general anesthesia● Outpatient procedure — most patients go home the same day● Often improves breathing, sleep, and quality of life

  • ● You’ll be sedated or under general anesthesia.● A small endoscope is inserted through the nostrils.● Blockages such as polyps or inflamed tissue are carefully removed.● Sinus openings may be widened to promote better drainage.
    The procedure typically takes 1 to 2 hours.

  • ● Mild congestion or nasal drainage is common for a few days.● You may be advised to use saline rinses and avoid blowing your nose.● Most patients return to normal activity within 1 week.● Follow-up visits are important to monitor healing and prevent scar tissue.

  • Endoscopic sinus surgery can provide lasting improvement for patients who’ve struggled with symptoms for months or even years. When combined with allergy treatment or ongoing care, it can significantly reduce the risk of future infections.
