sinus surgery
Sinus surgery is a medical procedure aimed at treating chronic sinusitis and other sinus-related issues. It involves removing blockages or correcting structural problems in the sinuses, which are air-filled spaces in the skull. This surgery can help improve breathing, reduce sinus infections, and enhance overall quality of life.
There are different types of sinus surgery, including endoscopic sinus surgery and balloon sinuplasty. Endoscopic sinus surgery uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to guide the surgeon, while balloon sinuplasty involves inflating a small balloon to open blocked sinuses. Both procedures are typically performed under anesthesia and may require a short recovery period.
