Chronic sinus inflammation or infection causes extreme discomfort and does not improve with medications. Your surgeon injects an anesthetic into your nostrils for the procedure. A decongestant is given to open up the mucous membranes by calming them down and reducing the swelling. A nasal endoscope which has a light at the end of it is inserted into the nasal cavity. A small rotating burr is used to reshape the blocked passages by removing the nasal polyps. The infected tissue is scraped off. After the surgery, you cannot blow your nose for a week.
