The goals of sinus surgery are to clear blockage of the sinuses restoring normal sinus drainage, ventilation and function and to preserve normal anatomy and mucosal tissue. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery It has revolutionized the surgical treatment of chronic sinusitis.

During Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), a thin, lighted telescope called an endoscope is inserted into the nostrils to provide a clear, magnified view of the sinus passages without making any external cuts on the face. Using specialized micro-instruments, the surgeon precisely removes diseased tissue, bone, or polyps that obstruct the sinus openings, effectively restoring natural airflow and drainage.
