When sinus symptoms such as nasal obstruction, dark colored drainage, and facial pain last for three months or longer, and fails to respond to appropriate treatment with medication, endoscopic sinus surgery is an option. This surgery is performed using small telescopes that allow us to work deep inside of the nose without external incisions.This allows us to remove diseased tissue and allow for drainage and proper rinsing. Very often, we use technology called navigation or computer image guidance. This allows us to be more thorough while still maintaining the utmost safety in this very delicate area. In certain patients, sinus surgery can be life-changing.
