**Sinus Treatment | Sinus Surgery | FESS for DNS by Dr. Saloni Sinha at Dr. Saloni Sinha Charitable Trust** Sinus issues such as chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and **deviated nasal septum (DNS)** can significantly impact your quality of life, leading to persistent facial pain, nasal congestion, headaches, and difficulty breathing. When conservative treatments fail, **sinus surgery** or **Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)** becomes a viable option to relieve symptoms and improve sinus health. At **Dr. Saloni Sinha Charitable Trust**, Dr. Saloni Sinha offers advanced **sinus treatment** and **FESS** for patients suffering from DNS and related sinus conditions. ### What is FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery)? **FESS** is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat chronic sinus conditions, particularly in patients with **deviated nasal septum (DNS)** or other obstructive nasal conditions. This technique uses an **endoscope**, a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera, to view the sinuses and remove blockages such as polyps, tissue, or other obstructions. FESS is designed to improve sinus drainage, restore normal airflow, and relieve the discomfort associated with sinus issues. ### Why is Sinus Surgery Needed? Sinus surgery, particularly **FESS**, is often recommended when: - **Chronic Sinusitis**: Persistent inflammation or infection of the sinuses that doesn't respond to medications. - **Nasal Polyps**: Non-cancerous growths in the nasal or sinus passages that can block airflow and drainage. - **Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS)**: A condition where the septum (the cartilage and bone separating the two nasal passages) is off-center, blocking airflow and leading to chronic sinus problems. - **Recurrent Sinus Infections**: Frequent infections that don't respond to antibiotics or other treatments. - **Nasal Blockage**: Obstruction in the nasal passages that hinders normal breathing and sinus function. ### Why Choose Dr. Saloni Sinha for FESS and Sinus Treatment?

This may include a **nasal endoscopy**, **CT scans**, or **allergy testing** to assess the condition of the sinuses and identify obstructions such as polyps, tissue growths, or a deviated septum. 2. **Surgical Procedure**: FESS is typically performed under **general anesthesia**. Dr. Sinha will use an endoscope to access the sinuses through the nasal passages, removing any obstructions such as: - **Polyps**: Benign growths that block sinus drainage. - **Scar Tissue**: Caused by previous infections or surgeries. - **Nasal Bone or Cartilage**: If necessary, to correct a deviated septum and improve airflow. The endoscope allows Dr. Sinha to work with precision, minimizing the need for large incisions and reducing the risk of complications. 3. **Post-Surgery Care**: After the surgery, you may experience some mild swelling, nasal congestion, and discomfort. Dr. Sinha will provide specific instructions on managing these symptoms and encourage the use of saline sprays or nasal irrigation to promote healing and maintain sinus moisture. Pain medications will be prescribed as needed. 4. **Follow-Up**: Post-operative visits will be scheduled to ensure proper healing and to remove any nasal packing (if used). Dr. Sinha will monitor your progress and ensure the sinuses are functioning properly. ### Benefits of FESS for DNS and Sinus Surgery 1. **Improved Sinus Drainage**: FESS helps restore proper sinus drainage, reducing the risk of infections and improving overall sinus health. 2. **Better Breathing**: By correcting a deviated septum or removing obstructions, FESS enhances airflow through the nasal passages, making it easier to breathe. 3. **Minimized Scarring**: As FESS is minimally invasive, it involves smaller incisions and results in less scarring compared to traditional surgery. 4. **Faster Recovery**: Most patients can return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, with significant relief from symptoms such as nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and headaches. 5. **Long-Lasting Relief**: FESS offers lasting results by addressing the underlying causes of chronic sinus issues, including DNS and nasal obstructions. ### What to Expect After Sinus Surgery (FESS) 1. **Recovery Time**: Recovery from FESS is typically quick, with most patients experiencing mild swelling and discomfort for the first few days. Swelling around the eyes and nasal passages usually subsides within a week. 2. **Discomfort Management**: Pain after the procedure is generally mild and can be managed with prescribed pain relief medication. Nasal congestion and mild bleeding are common during the first few days. 3. **Avoiding Strain**: It is essential to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for a few weeks to allow the nasal passages and sinuses to heal properly. 4. **Follow-Up Visits**: Dr. Sinha will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process, remove any packing, and check that the sinuses are draining properly. 5. **Improved Quality of Life**: Most patients notice significant improvement in their sinus health and breathing after FESS, leading to a better quality of life with fewer sinus infections and nasal issues. ### Why Dr. Saloni Sinha Charitable Trust?
