FESS (Fonksiyonel Endoskopik Sinüs Cerrahisi)

WHAT IS FESS?

Chronic sinusitis is a disease that can seriously reduce quality of life, with symptoms such as nasal congestion, headache, a feeling of facial fullness, and loss of smell. One of the most effective solutions for chronic sinusitis cases that do not respond to medical treatments is Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is the method. Our Tekirdağ Ear, Nose and Throat doctor, Op. Dr. Koray Kırbıyık, offers comfortable and permanent solutions to its patients by using modern technologies and up-to-date surgical techniques in FESS applications.

FESS is based on the principle of accessing the nasal and sinus areas using endoscopic methods to clear the tissues causing the obstruction. This method both opens the sinuses' natural drainage pathways and gently removes inflamed tissue. This procedure, which is significantly less traumatic than traditional surgery, is performed using microscopic cameras and specialized instruments.

Op. Dr. Koray Kırbıyık thoroughly evaluates his patients before endoscopic sinus surgery. Computed tomography and endoscopic examinations provide a clear picture of the sinus condition. Surgery is recommended for persistent problems such as recurrent infections that do not respond to medication, or anatomic stenosis of the sinuses.

The FESS procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and can take 1-2 hours. No incisions are made during the surgery; all procedures are performed through the nose. This allows for faster postoperative recovery and minimal scarring.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

FESS significantly reduces the frequency and severity of infections by opening the sinuses' natural ventilation and drainage channels. Surgery eliminates the chronic nature of the disease, but there's always the possibility of relapse, just like any normal person.

Is the surgery and its aftermath a painful process?

Because the surgery is performed under general anesthesia, it is painless. Afterward, instead of sharp pain, there is usually a feeling of mild pressure and fullness in the face. This can be easily controlled with painkillers.

Are tampons used after surgery?

Modern FESS techniques use special dressings that are usually self-dissolving or not placed inside the nose at all. Traditional cloth tampons are rarely needed, making the healing process more comfortable.

When can I return to work?

Recovery after FESS is rapid. Depending on the extent of the procedure, patients can typically return to desk work and normal daily activities within 3 to 7 days.
