Endoscopic Surgery of the Nose and the Sinuses
Endoscopic Surgery, where indicated, provides modern solutions to chronic conditions of the Nose and Sinuses, such as Chronic Rhinosinusitis, Nasal Polyps, and benign and malignant tumours.
With the help of the endoscopes and the high resolution camera, the Surgeon enters the narrow and complex nasal cavity, to remove with safety all the abnormal tissue, including polyps, when present. Special microsurgical instruments are used, along with micro-cutting powered instruments (microdebriders or shavers), which allow removal of pathology with minimal damage to the surrounding tissues (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery – FESS). Furthermore, modern image guidance systems increase the effectiveness and safety of the procedure, projecting the tip of the specially calibrated instrument in 3 dimensions in the preoperative ct-scan of the patient.
Endoscopic Surgery of the nose has converted the traditional heavy operations of the area into day-surgery procedures. The operation is completed through the nostrils, and therefore does not leave visible scars on the face. Modern techniques, evolution of technology and surgical experience minimize the possibility for complications.
