Sinus surgery is a specialized procedure performed to treat chronic sinus problems that do not respond to medication or other conservative treatments. The sinuses are air-filled spaces around the nose that help with breathing, mucus drainage, and voice resonance. When these passages are blocked due to inflammation, infection, or structural issues, patients experience pain, congestion, and repeated infections. Sinus surgery helps restore proper drainage and ventilation, providing long-term relief and improved quality of life.
Surgery may be recommended for patients with:
Chronic Sinusitis: Persistent infection and inflammation unresponsive to antibiotics.
Nasal Polyps: Soft, noncancerous growths obstructing airflow and drainage.
Recurrent Sinus Infections: Frequent episodes affecting daily life.
Fungal Sinus Infections.
Structural Issues: Deviated septum or narrow sinus openings.
Tumors or Cysts in the sinus cavity.
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS): A minimally invasive approach using an endoscope to clear blockages and restore drainage.
Balloon Sinuplasty: Expands blocked sinus passages using a small balloon device.
Image-Guided Sinus Surgery: Advanced navigation systems for precise surgery in complex cases.
Open Sinus Surgery: Rarely required, used for large tumors or complicated infections.
Sinus surgery is suitable for:
Patients with chronic sinus infections lasting more than 12 weeks.
Individuals with nasal obstruction affecting sleep and breathing.
Those with polyps, cysts, or fungal growths inside the sinuses.
Patients not improving with medications, nasal sprays, or allergy treatment.
Improved Breathing: Clears blockages and enhances airflow.
Fewer Infections: Reduces recurrence of sinus infections.
Restored Drainage: Prevents mucus buildup and chronic congestion.
Minimally Invasive Options: Endoscopic and balloon techniques allow faster healing.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Relieves facial pain, headaches, and sleep problems.
Sinus surgery is usually performed under local or general anesthesia and takes 1–2 hours. Most procedures, such as FESS and balloon sinuplasty, are done through the nostrils with no external scars. Patients can usually go home the same day. Recovery involves mild congestion, nasal crusting, or discomfort for a few days. Regular saline rinses, medications, and follow-up visits ensure proper healing and long-term success. Most patients return to work or daily activities within a week.
Sinus surgery provides a safe and effective solution for patients suffering from chronic sinus issues that disrupt daily life. With advanced endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques, specialists can precisely remove blockages, restore natural drainage, and improve overall sinus function. Choosing sinus surgery ensures lasting relief, better breathing, and improved comfort, allowing patients to enjoy healthier and more productive lives.
Living in Bangalore’s pollen- and pollution-heavy climate, many residents of Jayanagar develop chronic sinusitis that no longer responds to medication. Sinus surgery — most commonly Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) — clears blocked sinus passages, restores drainage, and relieves recurring headaches, facial pressure, and nasal blockage. At Dr Rohit’s Centre for ENT & Cochlear Implant in 7th Block, Jayanagar, sinus surgery is performed using minimally invasive endoscopic techniques with no external cuts, same-day discharge in most cases, and a personalised recovery plan so patients return to daily life within a week.
Cost depends on the type of surgery, such as FESS, balloon sinuplasty, or image-guided surgery, as well as anaesthesia and hospital stay. A personalised estimate is provided after an in-clinic evaluation and nasal endoscopy at the Jayanagar centre.
Most patients experience mild discomfort rather than significant pain because FESS is performed through the nostrils without external incisions. Pain can usually be managed with prescribed medication, and many patients resume light activities within a few days.
Most patients can go home the same day and may return to desk-based work within about 5–7 days. Complete healing of the sinus lining can take several weeks, with saline rinses and follow-up appointments supporting recovery.
Surgery may be considered when chronic sinusitis persists for more than 12 weeks, keeps recurring, or is associated with nasal polyps, fungal infection, or structural blockage that does not respond adequately to medical treatment.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity. When chronic sinusitis does not improve with appropriate medical treatment, Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) may be recommended to improve sinus drainage and clear blockages. An ENT evaluation helps determine the most suitable treatment.
Not always. Many sinus infections improve with appropriate medical treatment. Surgery is generally considered when infections repeatedly recur, symptoms persist for more than 12 weeks, or conditions such as nasal polyps, a deviated septum, or fungal disease contribute to persistent blockage.
Many patients recover sufficiently to resume desk-based work within about 5–7 days, while overall recovery may take one to two weeks. Internal healing of the sinus lining can continue for several weeks, often around three to six weeks, depending on the procedure and individual healing.
FESS is a well-established minimally invasive procedure used to treat selected chronic sinus conditions. When performed by an experienced ENT surgeon, with image guidance when clinically appropriate, it generally has a good safety profile. Pre-surgery assessment and imaging help the surgeon plan the procedure appropriately for each patient.
