If your nasal breathing function is not restored completely once those problems have been treated or ruled out, surgery may be the next logical step. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is a gentle, precise procedure. It is designed to restore normal sinus pathways and preserve healthy tissue so the nose and sinus can work together naturally. This procedure is a lot less painful than traditional sinus surgery. A light pack is used that comes out the day after surgery.
Patients usually go back to work within five days.
