Put An End To Nasal Congestion With A Endoscopic Sinus Surgery!

There’s nothing more frustrating that chronic nasal congestion. It truly prevents people from being able to completely enjoy life. They may not be able to smell the fresh air, or might experience difficulty breathing on a regular basis. It can impact their ability to taste their favorite foods. It can even lead to more severe symptoms, such as headaches, sinus pain, and sinus pressure. Orange County patients who suffer from chronic sinusitis or severe nasal congestion may want to consider having an endoscopic surgery performed by Dr. Kevin Sadati.

What is Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally-invasive procedure that is designed to clear the sinus cavities and eliminate chronic sinusitis infections. During this operation, the surgeon uses an endoscope in order to see inside the nose. The surgical tools are inserted at the same time, and the surgeon works to clear the sinus cavity, remove any bone that is blocking the cavity and eliminate polyps that have formed in the mucous membranes. This surgery is performed in an office or surgical center, and patients can opt for local or general anesthesia. The entire process takes between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the individual patient.

What is the Recovery Like?

Patients generally tolerate this recovery well, considering it is a minimally-invasive procedure. However, patients are advised to rest and take it easy for about 2 weeks after the surgery. Most patients will schedule follow-up visits with the surgeon once per week for about 3 weeks after the operation. This allows the surgeon to monitor the progress, remove nasal packing and clean the nasal cavity. Patients should not bend over, blow their nose or participate in strenuous activities for several days.

How Successful is the Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?

This is a very successful procedure, with about 90 percent of patients reporting a full recovery after the fact. In some cases, an additional surgery or complementary treatments are required in order to keep the sinusitis infection at bay.
