Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a procedure that is used to treat sinusitis and other conditions that affect the sinuses. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses that can cause symptoms such as congestion, headaches, and difficulty breathing through the nose.
FESS is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed using an endoscope, a thin, rigid tube with a camera on the end. The endoscope is inserted through the nostrils, allowing the surgeon to visualize the inside of the nasal passages and sinuses. The surgeon can then remove any tissue or obstruction that is blocking the sinuses, such as swollen or infected tissue.
FESS is generally considered to be a safe and effective treatment for sinusitis and other conditions that affect the sinuses. It can help to alleviate symptoms and improve the overall functioning of the sinuses. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications that should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
