Endoscopic Sinus Surgery for Polyposis and Chronic Sinusitis (FESS)

Nasal polyps are non-cancerous growths of mucus in the nasal cavity, usually on both sides of the nose. Sometimes, the size and number of polyps can cause nasal expansion and enlargement of the bony framework of the nose. Polyps are more common in adults than in children.

Symptoms: Chronic nasal congestion, loss of smell, facial pressure, nasal discharge (sometimes), facial pain (sometimes), headaches (sometimes).

Causes: The exact cause is unknown, but chronic infection or chronic allergy (allergic rhinitis), which causes swelling of the nasal mucous membranes and excessive mucus production, can worsen the condition.

Aggravating Factors: Chronic sinusitis or nasal infection, chronic allergies.
