An endoscopic sinus surgery is a procedure used to treat conditions related to the sinuses, which are air-filled spaces in the skull connected to the nasal passages. During the surgery, a thin, flexible tube with a camera called an endoscope is inserted into the nose to provide a clear view of the sinus passages. Surgeons use small surgical tools attached to the endoscope to remove blockages, open up narrow sinus passages, and clear the sinuses. This approach involves smaller cuts and tools, which leads to quicker recovery, less discomfort, and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional sinus surgery. It is typically performed under general anesthesia and aims to relieve symptoms such as facial pain, stuffiness, and difficulty breathing through the nose.
