There are a number of reasons that someone may have failed sinus surgery. Some of these reasons includes the following:
Allergies: if you have allergies as well as recurrent sinus disease problems and you do not address your allergies you may have recurrence. Remember – surgery does not cure allergies.
Nasal Polyps: nasal polyposis has a higher rate of recurrence than sinus disease alone. Nasal polyps represent severe inflammation. Removing the polyps surgically does not address the underlying cause of the polyps in the first place. Dr. Pasha has a large patient volume of nasal polyp patients. He treats them aggressively after the operation to prevent recurrence through medical management, allergy therapy, and special nasal sprays/irrigations that are directed for severe inflammation.
Scar Tissue and Closure of the Sinus Openings: healing can be unpredictable and on occasion a wound may heal in unfavorable ways. This possibility may also occur in the nose.
Dr. Pasha has a special interest in revision operations. Having performed over 4,000 nasal procedures, he is experienced in the higher skill set required for revision procedures.
