Best Doctors for Fess Treatment in Jubliee Hills, Hyderabad

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a procedure performed by rhinologists to clear out sinus infections. 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. You can sneeze with mouth wide open to reduce any pressure on the surgical site. One common side effect is FESS procedure may cause your eyes to tear up or may result in transient loss of smell sensation.
