Fess Surgery Cost in New Delhi

Purposes of a FESS are as listed below:

• Polyp removal - Growths inside nose that are most of the times benign, are removed in course of a FESS.
• Tissue cleansing - This procedure drains out infected tissues inside nose and mucous membrane and hence, leads to inner cleansing.
• A foreign substance - Foreign substances stuck in nasal opening that obstruct the inner lining are removed during Sinus surgery.
• Proper drainage of mucus - Sinus surgery enlarges pathways inside nose that drain mucus and prevent its buildup.

FESS commences after doctor administers an anesthetic to the person. Further, an endoscope is used to examine the hollow cavity of sinus and to see what is blocking the openings. Other surgical instruments are inserted through the endoscope to extract the blockages inside.
