In Which Conditions is Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Applied?
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery; It is applied in cases of chronic sinusitis where sinus inflammation persists for at least 3 months, in cases where improvement cannot be achieved as a result of drug treatment with antibiotics, antihistamines, decongestants, painkillers and nasal sprays, or in cases where complaints recur after short-term improvement.
Since many factors can cause sinusitis symptoms, the diagnosis of chronic sinusitis should be confirmed by endoscopic imaging and computer tomography and then surgical intervention should be decided.

Following discharge on the day of the operation or the next day, you can usually return to normal life within 1-2 weeks. However, bloody discharges may be seen during this period, but the nose is not washed, mostly nasal spray, antibiotic drugs and painkillers are used. In the controls to be made by the doctor, the scar / scarring (scar / sclerosis) formed on the inside can be cleaned if deemed necessary. In every period of the healing process, the facial area should be protected from impacts and trauma should be prevented.
How Long Does Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Last?

Are There Risks of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery?
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery carries some risks like other surgeries.
The risk of infection, which can be seen in all surgical interventions, also applies to Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery. During or after the operation, severe bleeding may occur due to the sensitivity of the nasal and sinus area. Hospitalization or blood transfusion due to excessive blood loss is rare.
If the meninges are damaged during sinus intervention, there is a risk of Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) leakage into the nasal cavity. In such a case, infection can be transmitted from the nose and sinuses to the brain. After sinus and nose surgeries, decreased sensitivity to smell can be seen.
Short or long-term temporary visual impairment and double vision cases are encountered after the operation. Temporary numbness in the lips and teeth, swelling or bruising in the eye and mouth area may occur.

In my first meeting with Mr. Elad, I trusted him immediately. He is both a warm-blooded, friendly doctor and explains everything in detail and honestly. I am in the 1st month of my surgery. I had a bruise-free, painless process. I also already love the shape of my nose :) If you want a natural nose that is compatible with your face, Mr. Elad is the right choice. His team and himself are very interested. They do not think that the surgery is over. I can recommend my doctor with peace of mind. I thank him and his team endlessly.

When you go to him for the first interview, you will already take the day for surgery and leave :) a doctor who is so sweet and explains everything to the finest detail. I saw 1 bad comment, I think anyone who knows the deliberate Elad knows that he will not treat the patient with such a style.
