Sinus surgery: Aesthetic surgery Royal✓

Sinus surgery, or sinonasal surgery, is a medical procedure used to treat chronic sinus problems, such as sinusitis, sinus polyps, or anatomical abnormalities that interfere with normal sinus function.

Problems with the sinuses can significantly affect the quality of life, causing chronic inflammation, blockages, or pain in the face and head, which makes it difficult to breathe daily and perform normal activities. Sinusitis, polyps, or other problems with the sinuses often do not respond to conservative treatments such as drugs and therapies, and in many cases surgery becomes the only effective method of treatment. Aesthetic plastic surgery Royal Belgrade offers the most modern methods for solving sinus problems, including FESS (endoscopic sinus surgery) and classic sinus surgery.

In this blog, we will describe in detail the differences between these two methods, the procedure itself, the recovery time, as well as the reasons why Royal Belgrade is the best choice for sinus surgery.

Types of sinus surgery: FESS vs Classic method

There are different methods used for sinus surgery, but the best known and most modern techniques are endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and classic sinus surgery. Both approaches are effective, but are used in different situations, depending on the specific problems of the patient and the complexity of the procedure.

FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) – Minimally Invasive Method

FESS is an advanced technique that uses an endoscope - a thin, flexible camera that allows the surgeon to examine the interior of the sinuses in detail without the need for large incisions. This method is minimally invasive, which means that recovery is faster and less painful. Using an endoscope, the surgeon can precisely remove polyps, tissue blockages, or other obstructions that interfere with normal sinus drainage.

Advantages of the FESS method:

• Minimally invasive: No large incisions and scars.
• Faster recovery: Patients usually return to normal activities after 7-10 days.
• Less pain and discomfort: Recovery is significantly easier compared to the classic method.
• Precision and safety: The endoscope allows the surgeon to see the sinuses in real time, reducing the possibility of errors.

Classical sinus surgery - A more complex approach

Classic sinus surgery, which involves larger incisions and direct access to the sinuses, is used in cases where the disturbances with the sinuses are more serious and when a wider correction of the nasal septum or internal sinus structures is required. Although recovery after this method is longer and more demanding, classic surgery may be necessary in cases where there is a greater blockage or more serious anatomical irregularities.

Advantages of classic sinus surgery:

• Ability to make more serious corrections: Ideal for patients with complex problems or anatomical irregularities.
• Direct access: Allows the surgeon a wider view and a greater possibility of correcting the problem.

How is sinus surgery performed?

Regardless of the type of surgery, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient will not be awake during the procedure. In the case of the FESS method, the surgeon makes a very small incision or uses an endoscope to access the nasal cavities and sinuses. Through this mini-approach, the surgeon removes polyps, treats infections and opens blocked sinus passages.

For classic sinus surgery, the procedure may require larger incisions to allow access to problem areas. The operation involves removing blockages and restoring normal air flow through the sinuses.

How long does sinus surgery take?

Sinus surgery usually lasts from 30 minutes to 2 hours, and the duration depends on the type of surgery and the complexity of the problem being solved. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is most commonly used, and takes between 1 and 1.5 hours. This method uses an endoscope, a thin instrument with a camera, which allows the surgeon to precisely remove polyps, blockages or other obstructions in the sinuses, usually through small incisions inside the nasal cavity.

In cases where the sinuses are seriously affected or a major correction is needed, the operation can last up to 2 hours. This usually refers to more complex cases in which additional surgical intervention or correction of the anatomical structure of the sinus is required.

The operation is mostly performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is not awake during the procedure. After the surgery, the patient usually remains under observation for a few hours, and in some cases can be released the same day, while in more severe cases he remains in the hospital for another 24 hours. 

Recovery after sinus surgery

Recovery after sinus surgery depends on the type of procedure, but in general, patients can expect the following:

• FESS method: Recovery is faster, and patients can return to normal activities after 7-10 days. In the first few days after surgery, patients may experience mild bleeding, congestion and swelling, but this is normal and subsides as recovery progresses.
• Classic sinus surgery: Recovery can be longer, usually 10 to 14 days to return to daily activities. During the recovery period, patients are advised to avoid physical exertion and direct contact with the nose in order to speed up the healing process.

In both cases, it is important that patients adhere to postoperative instructions and come for regular check-ups to ensure a successful recovery.
