Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Definition

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat chronic sinusitis and other sinus-related conditions. It involves the use of an endoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera, to visualize and access the nasal passages and sinuses. The surgeon can then remove any blockages, polyps, or infected tissue to improve sinus drainage and alleviate symptoms.
