Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) - 3D animation

This medical animation describes the functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), or commonly known as sinus surgery, is minimally invasive surgical procedure for serious sinus conditions. Medical professional use the term “functional” because the surgery is done to restore how your sinuses work, or function.
Healthcare providers use nasal endoscopes - thin tubes with lights and lens - to ease your sinus symptoms without making incisions in or around your nose. Studies show between 80 % and 90% of people who’ve had this surgery feel it solved their sinus issues.
How is functional endoscopic surgery performed?
A decongestant medication is inserted in your nose, followed by a nasal endoscopy. An injection of a numbing solution is inserted into your nose, and the endoscope is inserted gently. Surgical tools are used alongside the endoscope to remove bone, diseased tissue or polyps that may be blocking your sinuses.
Most functional endoscopic surgeries last about two hours.

Had this surgery done 2 weeks ago. All I have to say is, I am SO glad I made this decision. I can actually breathe normally.

[@neocity25]

And can u tell ur severity level as in type nd symptom u had

[@ryanreign2608]

@neocult26 Sue, I was severe. Inwas breathing through one side of my nose for 39 years. Surgeon said my nose was complicated. But now, all I can say is Wow.

Did you suffer from pollen and animals allergy?

[@jeylenlevy857]

I had it twice and possible a third time coming up

[@thickizbeautiful]

This is a great video and very helpful in explaining what FESS surgery does. I had this surgery just two days ago and can already feel relief in my temples and forehead even though my nose is completely blocked. I’m looking forward to a huge increase in quality of life!

[@DilshaGunarathna-e6n]

How do you feel now ? Did you have nose bleeds was it painful??

[@CRISTIFCSB]

​@DilshaGunarathna-e6n I also had a surgery but it wasn't painful not even a bit,but I bled a lot

I had a complicated surgery last week on my sinuses and at the moment I can breathe much better than before and I'm glad I made this choice even if I'm still bleeding, it was worth it

[@SanamShah-uo7gu]

I also had this surgery but there was not much difference afterwards.

Ok. So I’m having this done because of sinusitis. I’d rather not go blind. So what are the real chances of that happening

Just take your meds after

[@Gismotronics]

I am going to have this surgery in a few months. I have eosinophilic asthma and I'm told that there is a high probability the polyps will return. I'm not worried about the surgery, even with the risks but the most depressing part of it is that the problem will probably return. The ENT Doctor who will be doing my surgery mentioned that he would like to be able to prescribe biologics (injections) but they're not yet available for my kind of case in the health authority area where I live.

[@MarcoMadridista]

How did it go?

[@Gismotronics]

@@MarcoMadridista - As I went through our National Health Service, I got delayed. Good timing for you to ask because I had the FESS procedure on Monday - 11 March. It seems to have gone very well I think. I was told it was a long operation as there was a lot to do. I also lost a lot of blood. Despite all that, I don't have any facial bruising or swelling, which I am pleasantly surprised about. The main thing that was stressed to me is doing nasal washes with saline water three times a day - to get any blood and blood clots out. I quickly found out that the small ampules of saline water the hospital provided along with a syringe were not going to be sufficient... I already had a rechargeable nasal washer gismo so just had to buy 5 litres of sterile water and suitable salt off Amazon, next day delivery. That did the trick in terms of getting some quite big blood clots out. Each day sees less and less blood and blood clots being removed. The surgeon told me that it's really important because any blood clots left behind will scab over and be a blockage. Looking forward, the only concern is if and when the polyps return. However, even if they do return at some point, there is a relatively minor surgery that will remove them - minor because the major work only needs to be done once. Or... our NHS in my area will start funding biologics injections, which would be great.

Need some advise . It’s been 2 weeks since i underwent the FESS on the 26th July and I was getting better till the 10th day. On that day i had to visit the ent specialist and they put a camera n twisted the camera equipment which caused sever pain. Ever since it’s been 4 days and I’m having headaches n a yellowish colour Fluid flows down my nostril which had the surgery on. Now I am back to work from yesterday n today n having headaches n yellow fluid running on my left nostril. Rang my doctor and he told me to Take Panadol n rest. If it’s concerning go to emergency.
