Sinus Surgery

Sinus surgery, also known as sinusitis surgery, is a procedure to remove blockages in the sinuses, which are air-filled spaces in your skull surrounding your nose. These blockages can be due to polyps, deviated septum, or other abnormalities that lead to chronic sinusitis – a condition where your sinuses become inflamed and blocked for at least 12 weeks, causing mucus build-up, breathing difficulties, and pain.

You might have tried medications or other treatments, but if your symptoms persist, your doctor might recommend sinus surgery. The main types of sinus surgery include endoscopic sinus surgery, image-guided surgery, Caldwell Luc operation, and sinus ostial dilation. The type of surgery you’ll undergo depends on the severity of your sinusitis and your specific condition.
