FESS Surgery
FESS Surgery at MEDVOYAGER
At MEDVOYAGER, we offer Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to treat chronic sinusitis and other sinus-related conditions. FESS improves sinus drainage and function by removing blockages, allowing for better airflow and sinus health. Our experienced ENT specialists utilize advanced endoscopic techniques to ensure precise and effective treatment.
Understanding FESS Surgery
FESS is performed using an endoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera at the end. This allows the surgeon to view the sinus passages clearly and remove obstructions such as polyps, diseased tissue, or bone spurs. The goal is to restore normal drainage and ventilation of the sinuses, reducing symptoms and preventing recurrent infections.
Indications for FESS Surgery
- Chronic Mastoiditis: Persistent infection of the mastoid bone not responding to antibiotics.
- Cholesteatoma: Abnormal skin growth in the middle ear that can damage ear structures.
- Nasal Polyps: Non-cancerous growths in the nasal passage that can block airflow and drainage.
- Sinus-Related Headaches: Frequent headaches caused by sinus pressure and congestion.
- Deviated Septum: A displacement of the nasal septum contributing to sinus blockage and breathing difficulties.
- Fungal Sinusitis: Infections caused by fungal growth in the sinuses. Sinus Tumors: Benign or malignant growths affecting the sinus passages.
