Nasal polyp removal: Royal Plastic Surgery✓

Nasal polyps are a common but often overlooked health issue that can significantly impact daily life quality. Although benign, their presence can cause serious breathing difficulties, sleep disturbances, chronic nasal congestion, and even loss of smell. When conventional treatments fail to provide relief, nasal polyp surgery becomes the most effective solution.

At Royal Belgrade Aesthetic Surgery, this procedure is performed using advanced endoscopic techniques, ensuring precision, safety, and faster recovery.

What are nasal polyps and how do they develop?

Nasal polyps are painless, soft growths that develop on the mucous membrane of the nose and paranasal sinuses. While not cancerous, they can cause discomfort, especially when they grow large enough to block normal airflow.

They commonly arise from chronic inflammatory processes, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, chronic sinusitis, mucosal hypersensitivity, or genetic predisposition. Polyps are more frequent in people with recurrent respiratory infections or those exposed to irritating environmental substances.

Understanding the causes and nature of polyps is essential for effective treatment. While medications can control them, surgery is often the only way to permanently resolve the problem and prevent recurrence.

Symptoms and consequences of nasal polyps

Initially, polyps may cause no symptoms, but as they grow, they interfere with respiratory functions.

Common symptoms include:

• chronic nasal congestion,

• difficulty breathing through the nose,

• reduced or lost sense of smell,

• frequent headaches and sinus pressure,

• sleep disturbances and loud snoring.

Besides physical discomfort, patients often report fatigue, irritability, and loss of appetite due to decreased smell.

Ignoring symptoms may lead to serious complications such as recurrent sinusitis or chronic respiratory infections. Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial for maintaining health and quality of life.

When is nasal polyp surgery necessary?

Although polyps can initially be treated with medications, surgery is recommended when:

• medications (sprays, corticosteroids, antihistamines) fail,

• polyps obstruct breathing and cause a sensation of blockage,

• sinus infections become frequent and chronic,

• sleep disturbances and snoring occur,

• there is loss or reduction of smell,

• symptoms significantly affect daily life.

In these cases, surgery is the best option. Modern methods make the procedure safe, precise, and allow rapid recovery.

What does the surgery involve?

The surgery is routine and minimally invasive, especially with endoscopic assistance — a thin camera providing detailed visualization of the nose and sinuses. Special micro-instruments are inserted through the nostrils to carefully remove the polyps.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, lasts 30 to 60 minutes, and the patient can leave the clinic the same or next day. There are no external cuts, meaning no visible scars and easier recovery.

The endoscopic method minimizes tissue trauma, reduces complication risks, and provides better sinus assessment.

Recovery

Recovery is quick and straightforward if postoperative instructions are followed and check-ups attended. Mild nasal congestion, discomfort, increased mucus secretion, and occasional headaches may occur in the first days.

Most patients fully recover within 7 to 14 days. During this time, physical exertion, dust, smoking, and polluted environments should be avoided. Doctors prescribe medication to reduce inflammation and prevent infections.

With proper care, results are excellent: breathing normalizes, sleep improves, and sinus pressure disappears.
