Surgical treatment of sinusitis using the FESS method: Royal, Belgrade✓

Endoscopic sinus surgery, commonly known as Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), is a state-of-the-art surgical technique designed to treat chronic sinus conditions, including sinusitis, nasal polyps, anatomical irregularities, and blockages. This method enables surgeons to address sinus issues with maximum precision and minimal invasiveness, eliminating the need for external incisions. As a result, patients experience faster recovery times and reduced postoperative pain.

Today, FESS is recognized as one of the most modern and effective treatments for chronic sinus problems, particularly in cases where conservative therapies, such as medications and nasal sprays, have not provided satisfactory relief.

What is FESS?

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive procedure that employs an endoscope—a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light at its tip—to closely examine and surgically treat the inside of the sinuses. The use of an endoscope allows the surgeon to visualize and address blockages, polyps, infections, and other factors contributing to breathing and sinus drainage issues in real time.

One key advantage of this technique is that the surgery is performed without external cuts on the face. This significantly reduces the risk of complications, minimizes damage to surrounding tissue, and prevents the formation of visible scars. Due to its precision and safety, FESS has become the standard for modern sinus surgery.

How is the FESS Procedure Performed?

The surgery is typically conducted under general anesthesia, ensuring that the patient is completely asleep and pain-free. During the procedure, the surgeon utilizes natural openings in the nose or makes very small incisions within the nasal cavity to insert the endoscope and specialized micro-instruments.

Using the high-resolution camera, the doctor can precisely identify and remove the underlying causes of the issue—whether they involve polyps, pus-filled masses, thickened mucous membranes, or other obstructions hindering normal sinus function. If necessary, correction of the nasal septum or unblocking of drainage channels may also be performed.

The minimally invasive nature of the operation allows for the preservation of healthy tissue, resulting in less postoperative trauma and a quicker return to daily activities.

Advantages of the FESS Method

FESS offers several benefits over traditional surgical techniques:

• Minimally Invasive Procedure: FESS is performed through the nose without any external incisions, eliminating visible scars and reducing trauma for patients.
•   Faster Recovery: Most patients are able to resume normal activities within 7 to 10 days, experiencing significantly less postoperative discomfort.
• Less Pain and Discomfort: Due to the precision and preservation of healthy tissue, patients report considerably less pain compared to conventional surgeries.
• Greater Precision and Safety: The visual monitoring provided by the endoscope allows the surgeon maximum accuracy in removing problematic structures, which substantially decreases the risk of errors and complications.
• Lower Complication Rate: A less invasive approach leads to a reduced risk of infection, bleeding, and other postoperative issues.

How Long Does FESS Surgery Take?

The duration of the surgery varies depending on the complexity of the issue and the extent of the intervention. Generally, the procedure lasts between 1 to 1.5 hours. In more complicated cases, where additional corrections are necessary or multiple sinuses are involved, the operation can take up to 2 hours. Regardless of length, FESS remains an effective method with a high rate of success and patient satisfaction.

Recovery After FESS Surgery

One of the major benefits of the FESS method is the relatively quick and straightforward recovery process. Most patients return to their daily activities within 7 to 10 days, while complete sinus healing typically occurs within a few weeks.

During the recovery phase, it is advisable to avoid heavy physical exertion, intense sports, and exposure to dust or smoke. Patients should refrain from blowing their noses in the initial days after surgery to allow the tissues to heal properly.

Temporary symptoms, such as mild bleeding, swelling, congestion, or discomfort in the nose, are normal and should gradually subside as healing progresses.
