Nose and Paranasal Sinus Surgery
Septoplasty – Nasal Septal Scoliosis Repair
Nasal septum deviation is a common cause of nasal obstruction, snoring, and chronic inflammation. Septoplasty corrects the alignment of the septum, improving airflow and quality of life
The procedure is performed through the nasal passage without external incisions and is often combined with rhinoplasty or turbinate surgery (cauterization of the inferior nasal turbinates).
Turbinoplasty/Radiofrequency treatment of the turbinates
The inferior nasal turbinates may become hypertrophic, causing chronic nasal obstruction. Turbinate reduction decreases their volume while preserving their normal function.
The procedure can be performed using:
-
Radiofrequency (usually without general anesthesia)
-
Surgical reduction in persistent cases
It provides immediate relief from nasal obstruction, without pain and with rapid recovery.
"Excision of Nasal and Paranasal Lesions
They are treated endonasally or with a combined external approach
-
Benign tumors (e.g., osteochondromas, hemangiomas)
-
Malignant neoplasms of the nose or paranasal sinuses
Excision of Nasal Polyps
Nasal polyps cause severe nasal obstruction, anosmia, and frequent infections
Endoscopic polypectomy aims at the complete removal of the polyps and the creation of open airways.
Postoperative treatment with nasal steroids or biologic agents reduces the risk of recurrence.
Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) allows for precise management of:
-
Chronic or recurrent rhinosinusitis
-
Polyposis
-
Cystic lesions (e.g., ethmoidal cysts, sinus cysts)
-
Obstruction of the sphenoid or frontal sinuses
The approach is performed without external incisions, using an endonasal approach under endoscopic guidance, with the aim of preserving the normal anatomy and function of the nose to the greatest extent possible.
