Frequent episodes of cold-like symptoms that never fully resolve

How is FESS Surgery Diagnosed?

Diagnosis is performed by an ENT specialist and includes a combination of clinical evaluation and diagnostic tests:

The doctor checks for previous sinus infections and treatments.
A flexible camera is inserted through the nose to visualize blockages and polyps.
Provides detailed imaging of sinus cavities, inflammation, or structural issues.
Conducted if allergies are suspected to trigger sinus inflammation.
Helps detect bacterial or fungal infections.

Advanced Treatment Options for FESS Surgery

At Pristyn Care, ENT specialists use advanced surgical techniques for effective sinus treatment:

Conventional FESS surgery: Involves using a nasal endoscope and surgical tools to clear blockages and improve sinus drainage.
Balloon sinuplasty: A balloon is inserted into blocked sinuses and inflated to widen passages without tissue removal.
Laser-assisted FESS: Uses laser energy to minimize bleeding, ensure precision, and promote faster recovery.
Image-guided FESS: Advanced technology that helps surgeons navigate complex sinus structures with higher accuracy.

Recovery Time

The recovery period after FESS surgery is typically around 1 to 2 weeks. Patients usually return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days, though complete healing may take several weeks. Mild congestion, nasal discharge, or fatigue can occur initially but gradually improves with proper care. Advanced procedures like laser-assisted FESS minimize discomfort and promote quicker healing.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before the surgery, your ENT specialist will advise diagnostic scans, review medical history, and recommend avoiding certain medications like blood thinners. Fasting may be required for a few hours prior to surgery.

During the procedure, FESS is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon inserts an endoscope through the nostril, identifies blockages, and removes infected tissues or polyps. Depending on the case, techniques like balloon sinuplasty or laser assistance may be used. The procedure typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes.

After surgery, patients are monitored for a few hours and most can return home the same day. Nasal congestion, mild pain, or fatigue may be present but can be managed with medications and saline rinses.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

First 24 hours: Rest is recommended. Patients may feel drowsy due to anesthesia.
First week: Mild nasal congestion, discharge, or scabbing is common. Saline sprays help keep the nose moist.
7 to 10 days: Most patients resume normal work and light activities. Heavy exercise should still be avoided.
2 to 3 weeks: Breathing improves, nasal passages heal, and sinus symptoms reduce significantly.

Post-surgery care instructions include:

Use saline rinses regularly to keep nasal passages clear
Avoid strenuous activity and bending forward for at least 2 weeks
Stay away from dust, smoke, and allergens during recovery
Take prescribed medications and antibiotics as directed
Attend follow-up visits for cleaning and monitoring healing
