Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery aimed at widening sinus ostia and removing diseased tissue to treat chronic sinusitis or nasal polyposis.
FESS allows access to the sinuses through the nose using an endoscope. Ethmoid sinuses, maxillary ostium, sphenoid and frontal recess are opened as needed. It is performed under general anaesthesia or sedation.
Postoperative nasal irrigation and topical steroids improve long-term success. Serious complications are rare but orbital injury and CSF leak must be considered.
