FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) Services at Dr. Lal Hospital & Research Centre
At Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre, we offer state-of-the-art Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), providing effective relief for chronic sinusitis and other sinus-related conditions. Our experienced ENT specialists utilize advanced endoscopic techniques to deliver precise and minimally invasive treatment, ensuring optimal patient outcomes and faster recovery times.
Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities
At Dr. Lal Hospital & Research Centre, Advanced diagnostic capabilities play a crucial role in the management of patients undergoing Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) by providing comprehensive information about the underlying sinus pathology and guiding treatment decisions. Here are some advanced diagnostic techniques commonly used in conjunction with FESS:
- High-Resolution CT (Computed Tomography): High-resolution CT imaging of the paranasal sinuses is considered the gold standard for preoperative evaluation in FESS. It provides detailed anatomical information about sinus anatomy, the extent of disease, and the presence of complications such as sinus mucosal thickening, polyps, and sinus opacification.
- Endoscopic Nasal Examination: Endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses using a flexible or rigid endoscope provides direct visualization of the sinus anatomy and pathology.
- Allergy Testing: Allergy testing, including skin prick tests or serum-specific IgE assays, helps identify underlying allergic triggers contributing to chronic rhinosinusitis. Allergy testing guides the selection of medical treatments such as allergen avoidance, pharmacotherapy, or allergen immunotherapy to manage allergic rhinitis and prevent recurrence of sinus symptoms following FESS.
- Histopathological Analysis: Histopathological examination of sinus tissue specimens obtained during FESS provides diagnostic information about the underlying inflammatory process, presence of nasal polyps, and evidence of malignancy or other sinonasal tumors. Histopathological analysis guides treatment decisions and helps differentiate between inflammatory and neoplastic conditions affecting the sinuses.
Precision Treatment Options
Precision treatment options for Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) involve utilizing advanced techniques and technologies to tailor the surgical approach to the individual patient’s specific sinus anatomy and disease severity. FESS is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic sinusitis and other sinus disorders by improving sinus drainage and ventilation. Here are some precision treatment options for FESS:
- Preoperative Imaging: High-resolution imaging modalities such as CT (Computed Tomography) scans are essential for preoperative planning in FESS. CT imaging provides detailed anatomical information about the sinuses, including the extent of sinus disease, the presence of nasal polyps, and variations in sinus anatomy.
- Image-Guided Navigation: Image-guided navigation systems use intraoperative CT or MRI scans to provide real-time guidance during FESS. These systems track the position of surgical instruments relative to the patient’s anatomy, allowing for precise localization of sinus structures and pathology. Image-guided navigation enhances the accuracy of surgical maneuvers, reduces the risk of complications, and helps ensure complete disease removal while preserving healthy tissue.
- Balloon Sinuplasty: Balloon Sinuplasty is a minimally invasive technique used in conjunction with FESS to open blocked sinus passages and promote sinus drainage. During the procedure, a small balloon catheter is inserted into the blocked sinus opening and inflated to gently widen the sinus drainage pathway.
- Powered Instrumentation: Powered instrumentation, such as microdebriders and sinus shavers, allows for precise and controlled removal of diseased tissue and nasal polyps during FESS. These specialized instruments use rotating blades or suction to remove obstructive tissue while minimizing trauma to surrounding structures. Powered instrumentation improves surgical efficiency, reduces the risk of complications, and enhances postoperative outcomes in FESS.
