Sinus Surgery (FESS) Cost In India

Since endoscopic sinus surgery involves direct removal of sinus blockages through the endoscope, it is very accurate and effective. Generally, FESS is the most commonly performed sinus surgery, and it has a success rate of about 85-90% in relieving the symptoms, which is higher than even balloon sinuplasty, the second most common sinus operation. However, if the patient has a deviated nasal septum, he/she may have recurrent infections unless they get a septoplasty in addition to FESS.

The cost of FESS in India depends on a variety of factors such as:

Choice of treatment city and hospital

Like all other treatments, the cost of FESS in a metro city may be slightly higher than in a non-metro city. The cost of hospitalization depends on the type of the hospital chosen by the patient. Normally, the patient is hospitalized overnight to ensure there are no complications, so the type of hospital room chosen also affects the cost of treatment significantly.

Severity of the condition

The total cost of FESS treatment also depends on the severity of the condition. If the patient has nasal polyps or enlarged turbinates, then the cost of surgery may be higher than if the patient only needed sinus drainage.

Additional surgery required

If the patient has a narrow airway due to a deviated septum or small turbinates, then the chances of recurrence are high even after successful surgery. The patient may require additional surgeries such as septoplasty or turbinoplasty which will impact the cost of surgery.

Patient’s age and health condition

The recovery period and post-operative care required differs significantly based on the patient’s age and health condition and need to be modified as per requirement, which impacts the cost of the treatment.

Post-surgical care and complications

Although safe, FESS is major surgery and can cause postoperative complications such as pain, nausea, airway obstruction, bleeding, etc. Therefore, proper postoperative care is a must to avoid future recurrence and to ensure such complications do not occur. 

Surgeon fees

The surgeon’s consultation and operative fees depend on their expertise and experience. An experienced surgeon has more chances of successfully completing the treatment without any complications.

Cost of diagnostic tests

To ensure the procedure is successful, a proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the extent of damage to the eardrum and its surrounding structures. The cost of diagnostic tests usually required for FESS are:

• X-ray: Rs. 250- Rs. 500
• Imaging tests: Rs. 1500 – Rs. 4000
• Swab test/tissue culture: Rs. 400- Rs. 1000
• Nasal Endoscopy: Rs. 1500 – Rs 2000
