FESS, or Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, is a minimally invasive surgery in which the surgeon uses nasal endoscopes to increase the size of the nasal drainage pathways of the paranasal sinuses to improve sinus ventilation. It is the most effective treatment for sinusitis.

Sinusitis is the inflammation of the tissue lining of the sinuses. Healthy sinuses are pneumatic, i.e., they are filled with air and responsible for humidifying and warming the inspired air. On the other hand, if sinuses are infected, they are filled with mucus and bacteria, which causes nasal congestion, inflammation, etc., which makes breathing difficult.

When sinuses are too congested and are not responding to medicines, then surgical intervention becomes necessary to drain the sinuses and make breathing easier. If you have severe sinusitis and want to get long-term relief from your symptoms, book an appointment with the best ENT specialists in Khandala for sinusitis treatment near you.

In contrast to conventional surgery, FESS is less invasive and promises better recovery with minimal scarring. It is usually performed under local anesthesia. The surgical instruments are inserted through the nose to preserve aesthetic appearance. The infected sinuses are located, drained and then washed using a saline solution.
