Here are some common instructions your surgeon may provide to help you prepare for the surgery. 

1. Avoid smoking, tobacco, and alcohol, as these may lead to tissue scarring and make your sinusitis worse. 
2. Stop taking medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, warfarin, etc. as they may cause excessive bleeding during or after the surgery. 
3. Don’t eat or drink anything starting at least 6 hours before the surgery. It can creact adversely with anesthesia.
4. Make sure that you bring an attendant along. . 
5. Collect all the important papers, such as insurance documents, identity proof, etc., and keep them with you during hospitalization.

How to recover after chronic sinusitis treatment?

You will receive some instructions from your surgeon following sinusitis surgery that will help you recover more quickly and feel better. Some of the suggestions are mentioned below:

• Rinse your nose with the nasal saline spray every two to three hours after surgery.
• Begin sinus irrigation with the sinus rinse kits to eliminate remaining debris.
• It is normal to have a bloody discharge for a few days following the treatment, but if you suffer severe bleeding, keep your head raised and wipe your nose with tissue or cotton.
• If you experience sinus pressure following surgery, just take the medicines prescribed by your doctor. Aspirin and NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen should be avoided.
• It is natural to feel fatigued during the recuperation process; rest as needed.
• Avoid vigorous activities such as weightlifting, jogging, and so on, as they might induce bleeding.

Risks and complications associated with chronic sinusitis treatment

As with any surgery, there are some risks and complications associated with sinusitis surgery, including: 

• Excessive Bleeding: Minor bleeding is normal and expected during the surgery. In rare cases, excessive bleeding may occur, and your surgeon may have to pause the surgery. 
• Infection: You are at a risk of infection caused by any medical equipment. To reduce the risk, your surgeon will suggest some antibiotics immediately after the surgery. 
• Cerebrospinal fluid leak: The surgeon works on the ethmoid bone during the procedure. In case the bone gets injured it can result in CSF leakage. This is a very rare complication associated with the surgery. 
• Effect on eyes: The sinus is located close to the eyes.  In rare cases, eye injuries can occur. 
• Other risks may include changes in the sense of your smell.
