FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery)

WHAT IS FESS?

Chronic sinusitis is a condition that can seriously reduce quality of life with symptoms such as nasal obstruction, headache, a feeling of fullness in the face, and loss of the sense of smell. In cases of chronic sinusitis that do not respond to medical treatments, one of the most effective solutions is the Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) method. Our Tekirdağ Ear, Nose and Throat doctor, Op. Dr. Koray Kırbıyık, offers his patients comfortable and lasting solutions in FESS procedures by using modern technologies and current surgical techniques.

FESS is based on the principle of reaching the nasal and sinus regions using endoscopic methods to clean out the tissues that cause obstruction. With this method, both the natural drainage pathways of the sinuses are opened and the inflamed tissues are cleaned out with precision. This procedure, which is far less traumatic than traditional surgeries, is performed using microscopic cameras and special instruments.

Op. Dr. Koray Kırbıyık evaluates his patients in detail before endoscopic sinus surgery. The condition of the sinuses is clearly analyzed with computed tomography and endoscopic examination. The decision to operate is made in cases of permanent problems such as those unresponsive to drug treatment, recurrent infections, and anatomical narrowing in the sinuses.

The FESS procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and may take 1-2 hours. During the surgery, no incision is made on the skin; all procedures are performed from inside the nose. This provides the patient with faster recovery in the postoperative period and the advantage of leaving no scar in aesthetic terms.

For patients who frequently experience sinusitis complaints in Tekirdağ, FESS is a treatment option that significantly improves quality of life. This method can be used not only for sinusitis patients but also in more serious conditions such as nasal polyps, fungal infections, or sinus tumors.
