Sinus Surgery
Endoscopic Sinus Surgery is most generally used to treat chronic rhinosinusitis only after all non-surgical treatment choices such as antibiotics, topical nasal corticosteroids, and nasal lavage with saline solutions have been exhausted. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory state in which the nose and at least one sinus convert swollen and interfere with mucus drainage. It can be caused by anatomical aspects such as a deviated septum or nasal polyps (growths), as well as infection. Symptoms include trouble breathing through the nose, swelling and pain around the nose and eyes, postnasal drainage down the throat, and sweat sleeping.
