Led by Dr. Naveed Basheeth, our minimally invasive approach enhances airflow and vitality for patients with persistent sinus issues.

What Is Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?

This advanced ENT procedure treats chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal polyps, or structural sinus issues using an endoscope for precise visualization. Performed through the nostrils, FESS enlarges sinus openings, removes diseased tissue, and preserves nasal anatomy. With intra-operative image guidance and advanced techniques, it minimizes pain and bleeding, offering effective relief from congestion, facial pain, and headaches for lasting sinus function.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

The procedure begins with a comprehensive sinus assessment, typically using endoscopy or CT scans. Conducted under general anesthesia, the surgeon uses an endoscope to widen sinus openings and remove any diseased tissue or polyps. Lasting from 60 to 120 minutes, FESS employs image guidance for precise execution, minimizing bleeding and maintaining the integrity of surrounding structures, ensuring a seamless and efficient recovery of sinus function.

What to Expect During Recovery

Post-surgery, mild congestion or soreness may resolve within 1–7 days. Perform saline nasal washes four times daily for three months to aid healing. Most patients resume light activities within days, with full recovery in 2–4 weeks. Symptom relief begins rapidly, with follow-ups to clear debris and ensure lasting sinus health and comfort.
