Endoscopic sinonasal surgery

Endoscopic sinonasal surgery encompasses all operations on the nose and sinuses performed through the natural passages, under the control of a high-definition endoscope. This minimally invasive approach has transformed sinus surgery: no incision on the face, greater precision and considerably more comfortable recovery. Thanks to fine optics and dedicated instruments, the surgeon has a perfect view of the nasal and sinus cavities and treats lesions with great precision: opening the sinuses, removing polyps, excising certain benign tumours, treating nasal obstruction or closing leaks. The range of applications of this technique is expanding steadily. Endoscopy also makes it possible to reach deep areas that were once difficult to access, while preserving neighbouring structures, notably the orbit and the skull base, whose anatomy is studied in detail on the pre-operative CT scan. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, endoscopic sinonasal surgery relies on a high-definition ENT endoscope and the expertise of surgeons highly skilled in minimally invasive techniques, for precise, safe and comfortable procedures.
