Hi,Myself is N.K.Goel.I am suffering from chronic sinusitis.I always feel pressure on my face and feel like that my left ear is filled of water.I have taken CT scan. it clearly shows that my left facial sinus is totally blocked. ENT specialist told me to go for surgery but i m afraid because they have already done septoplasty for the same.But I have heard about the Balloon sinuplsty. How much successful this technique is and how it is safer than FESS.what is approximately cost? please suggest some hospital in Mumbai which is having this technique.N.K.GoelScietific Officer in BARC, mumbai YYYY@YYYY
Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I have read your description and understand your concern. For the problems you are facing related to sinus blockage, it has been rightly advised to go in for FESS. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a surgical treatment of any origin sinusitis (bacterial/fungal), nasal polyps and chronic sinus problems. FESS uses nasal endoscopes to restore Chat Doctor.  Although extreme care is required with this type of surgery, endoscopic sinus surgery is one of the most common procedures performed in day to day practice. There are potentially many benefits from a well-performed endoscopic sinus surgery. You can contact any corporate hospital to know about the details regarding the procedure. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
