Sinus surgery (chronic sinusitis)

Chronic sinusitis presents as persistent nasal obstruction, discharge, facial heaviness and sometimes loss of smell. When medical treatments (rinses, local corticosteroids, antibiotics) are no longer sufficient, sinus surgery may be recommended. The procedure is performed endoscopically, entirely through the nostrils, with no incision on the face. Using a high-definition endoscope and fine instruments, the surgeon opens the blocked sinus cavities, removes any polyps and restores normal ventilation and drainage of the sinuses. This functional surgery preserves healthy nasal structures as much as possible. It is followed by simple local care (nasal rinses) which contributes greatly to the quality of the result. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, sinus surgery benefits from high-definition endoscopic equipment and the expertise of ENT surgeons highly skilled in minimally invasive techniques, for lasting respiratory comfort.
