Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) & Allergy Care

Diagnostic nasal endoscopy, allergic rhinitis desensitization, deviated nasal septum (DNS) management, and Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS).

Clinical Focus: Chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, deviated nasal septum (DNS), and allergic rhinitis cause persistent facial pressure, chronic headaches, nasal congestion, and loss of smell. Dr. Shravya provides specialized diagnostic nasal endoscopy, medical allergy management, and Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) in Bachupally, Hyderabad.

Nasal & Sinus Conditions Treated

  • Chronic Rhinosinusitis: Persistent facial pain, forehead heaviness, post-nasal drip, and chronic discolored nasal discharge refractory to medications.
  • Nasal Polyps: Benign inflammatory growths in the ethmoid and maxillary sinus cavities causing severe nasal blockage and anosmia (loss of smell).
  • Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS): Asymmetric nasal bone and cartilage deviation causing unilateral nasal blockage, snoring, and epistaxis.
  • Allergic Rhinitis: Frequent sneezing, itchy runny nose, allergic shiners, and seasonal flare-ups.
  • Nasal Bleeding (Epistaxis): Anterior and posterior nasal bleeding evaluation and chemical/bipolar cauterization.

Diagnostic Nasal Endoscopy & Sinus Mapping

Diagnostic Nasal Endoscopy (DNE)

In-office 0° and 30° rigid endoscopy to inspect the osteomeatal complex, middle meatus, and turbinate hypertrophy under local anesthesia.

CT Paranasal Sinuses (PNS)

High-resolution coronal and axial CT scans to precisely map sinus mucosal thickening, anatomical variations, and skull base landmarks.

Allergy & IgE Evaluation

Serum Total IgE and Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) to identify allergic inflammation baselines.

Medical & Surgical Management Protocols

  1. Targeted Medical Therapy: Corticosteroid nasal sprays, antihistamines, saline sinus rinses, and short-course antileukotrienes to reduce mucosal edema.
  2. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS): Minimally invasive keyhole sinus surgery using endoscopes and microdebriders through the nostrils (zero external cuts) to clear diseased polyps and re-establish natural sinus drainage.
  3. Septoplasty & Turbinoplasty: Correcting internal septal deviation and reducing enlarged inferior turbinates (Radiofrequency Coblation) for open nasal breathing.
  4. Post-Op Care & Rinse Protocols: Gentle nasal packing techniques and saline irrigation to promote rapid mucosal healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

FESS is a keyhole surgical procedure performed entirely through the nostrils using high-definition endoscopes. It removes infected tissue and polyps, opening the natural drainage pathways of the sinuses with no external facial cuts or bruising.
Most patients go home the next day and resume light work within 3 to 5 days. Nasal breathing progressively improves over 2 to 3 weeks as the sinus lining heals with saline rinses.
While genetic allergy predispositions cannot be completely erased, allergic rhinitis can be exceptionally well-controlled with modern steroid nasal sprays, allergen avoidance, saline rinses, and medical therapy, eliminating chronic symptoms.
