Functional Endoscopic Sinus Cost

Many people have to face so many inconveniences in their life because of their sinus problems. Their lifestyle is widely disrupted, and not to forget that sinus issues themselves can be uncomfortable and painful. Do you also go through serious sinus problems? If yes, then in that case, a healthcare provider may have suggested a Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery for you. Even if it is a minimally invasive procedure, it is important to determine the cost and the best place to get the surgery. 

What is functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)?

It is a minimally invasive surgery performed for serious sinus conditions. Healthcare providers take thin tubes with lights and lenses (nasal endoscopes) to reduce sinus symptoms without having to make incisions anywhere on or around the nose. Most people who have had this surgery have recorded that it has solved their sinus problems. Many healthcare providers call this procedure “functional” endoscopic sinus surgery because the surgery is done to restore how the sinuses work or “function.” A healthcare provider will recommend this procedure if one has a chronic sinus infection or inflammation that isn’t improving with medical treatments like antibiotics and medications used for managing allergies.

What to expect before a Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?

Before proceeding with a FESS, the healthcare provider will review the medical history and conduct a physical examination. One may have to go through tests like Nasal Endoscopy to check your nasal passages and Computed Tomography (CT) scan to determine which part of the sinuses is affected. If the healthcare provider wants to go ahead with the procedure, then they may ask to stop smoking weeks before the surgery. They may also ask to stop taking any medications before the surgery. 

Getting a surgical procedure like FESS done can be highly important. However, with proper research, it is possible to find affordable options with quality services.
