Question by Dugu Edmund: What’s endoscopic sinus surgery and provide me the details?
I had traditional sinus surgery a few years ago, but I still have sinusitis symptoms. Can I have endoscopic sinus surgery or any home treatment for sinus? Where I got the details?
Best answer:
Answer by Adam Maher In cases that continue to resist treatment or medication, endoscopic sinus surgery may be an option. An endoscope and a thin, flexible tube with an attached light will be used by a doctor to closely examine your sinus passages. Your doctor will then shave away some tissue or remove polyps that may be causing obstruction, depending on the results of the prelminary tests. Enlarging a narrow sinus opening also may be an option to promote drainage.

Middle turbinate is to the right, eye to the right. Maxillary antrostomy, sphenoidotomy and complete ethmoidectomy have been performed. The frontal sinus has been opened. The bone overlying the right eye is removed. The periorbita (tissue enclosing the eye) is opened with a sickle knife, allowing orbital fat to protrude into the nose. This allows the eye to settle into a more natural position.
