Rhinology and Sinus Surgery Services

​

At Relentcare ENT Centre, we emphasize the medical management of complex sinus conditions before considering surgery. For patients with severe chronic sinusitis or nasal polyps, we offer nasal washes with steroids and Nasal spray after Endoscopic confirmation. 

​

When surgery is necessary, we use minimally invasive techniques to treat sinus diseases effectively while minimizing recovery time.

For patients with severe frontal sinusitis who have previously undergone multiple unsuccessful surgeries, we perform the Draf III frontal sinus procedure. This advanced endoscopic technique enhances the opening of the frontal sinuses, improving their communication with the nasal cavity. This allows for better delivery of topical therapies and easier follow-up care. It has proven especially beneficial for patients who have not had success with traditional open frontal sinus surgeries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Rhinology and Sinus Surgeries

​

1. What is rhinology?

​

Rhinology is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions related to the nose and sinuses. It includes conditions such as chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, nasal obstructions, and nosebleeds. Rhinology is a branch of Otolaryngology (ENT) and is essential for managing both medical and surgical issues affecting the nose and sinus cavities.

​

2. What are common conditions treated by rhinology and sinus

surgery?

​

Some of the most common conditions treated through rhinology and sinus surgery include:

• Chronic Sinusitis

• Acute Sinusitis

• Nasal Polyps

• Nasal Obstruction (e.g., Deviated Septum)

• Nosebleeds (Epistaxis)

• Allergic Rhinitis

• Sinus Tumors

• Chronic Headaches related to sinus issues

​

3. What are the symptoms of sinus issues that require surgery?

​

Patients suffering from the following symptoms may need surgical intervention for sinus or nasal conditions:

• Persistent facial pain or pressure around the eyes, nose, and forehead.

• Chronic nasal congestion and difficulty breathing through the nose.

• Recurrent or severe sinus infections (more than 4-6 infections per year).

• Nasal polyps or growths causing obstruction.

• Frequent or severe nosebleeds (epistaxis).

• Loss of smell or taste.

• Chronic post-nasal drip or cough.

​

4. What is the treatment approach at Relentcare ENT Centre?

​

At Relentcare ENT Centre, we prioritize non-surgical treatments for conditions like sinusitis and nasal obstruction. These may include medications, nasal irrigation, and allergy management. Surgery is considered only when conservative treatments fail, and it is necessary to achieve long-term relief. We use the latest minimally invasive endoscopic techniques to treat sinus and nasal conditions effectively, ensuring faster recovery with less discomfort.

​

5. What is endoscopic sinus surgery?

​

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat sinus diseases. Using small instruments and a camera (endoscope), surgeons can remove blockages, polyps, and other abnormalities from the sinuses without making large incisions. This approach helps improve drainage and airflow within the sinus cavities, reducing the need for more invasive surgeries.

​

6. What is the Draf III frontal sinus procedure?

​

The Draf III frontal sinus procedure is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to treat patients with severe frontal sinusitis who have not responded to prior surgeries. This technique involves using endoscopic methods to improve the drainage of the frontal sinuses, which enhances sinus health and reduces symptoms of sinusitis. It allows for better sinus ventilation and easy access for post-surgical treatments like nasal irrigation.

​

7. How long does recovery take after sinus surgery?

​

Recovery times vary depending on the extent of the surgery, but most patients can expect to return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks. However, full recovery may take 4-6 weeks, during which patients are advised to avoid heavy physical activity, ensure proper post-operative care (such as nasal irrigation and prescribed medications), and attend follow-up appointments.

​

8. Are there any risks involved with sinus surgery?

​

Like any surgery, sinus surgery carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. However, endoscopic sinus surgery is minimally invasive, which reduces many of these risks. Our experienced surgeons take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety and success of your procedure.

​

​

9. What are the benefits of minimally invasive sinus surgery?

​

Minimally invasive sinus surgery offers several benefits, including:

• Smaller incisions and reduced scarring.

• Faster recovery times and less pain.

• Shorter hospital stays or the ability to return home the same day.

• A lower risk of complications such as infection or bleeding.

• Improved long-term outcomes with minimal disruption to daily life.

​

10. Can sinus surgery help with my allergies?

​

Sinus surgery can help alleviate symptoms caused by sinus congestion and polyps that may be exacerbating allergies. While sinus surgery does not cure allergies, it can improve airflow, reduce sinus pressure, and help prevent secondary infections or sinus blockages. Additionally, managing allergies with medication and lifestyle changes can complement surgical treatment for better overall results.

​

11. Are there any clinical trials or new treatments available?

​

Yes, Relentcare ENT Centre is dedicated to providing cutting-edge treatments and participates in clinical trials for advanced sinus treatments. Our research focuses on improving surgical outcomes, investigating new medication delivery methods, and exploring innovative therapies to reduce the recurrence of conditions like nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis.
