What is Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive surgery for severe diseases of the paranasal sinuses. Doctors use nasal endoscopes to relieve sinus symptoms without making incisions in or around the nose.
Sinus infections occur when fluid builds up in the air-filled facial sacs (sinuses). This accumulation of liquid allows germs to grow. Viruses cause most sinus infections, but bacteria can cause some sinus infections.
Symptoms of sinus are:-
- Bad Breath
- Cough
- Runny Nose
- Stuffy Nose
- Facial pain and pressure
- Headache
- Sore throat
- Mucus dripping down the throat
Doctors may recommend FESS if you have a chronic sinus infection or chronic sinus infection that is not improving with medical treatments such as antibiotics and allergy medications. You develop sinusitis when the tissue lining your sinuses swells, trapping the mucus that normally flows through your sinuses and out your nose. The trapped liquid can allow bacteria to grow, which can cause infection. Doctors may also recommend surgery if you have nasal polyps.
Benefits of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: -
- Minimally Invasive procedure
- Minimal Pain
- No outward scarring of nose

- Little post- surgical bleeding
