Diagnosis and Treatment

Diagnostic Procedures

One of the most important criteria for diagnosing sinusitis is a medical history and physical examination. Your doctor will collect a detailed medical history, along with your symptoms, their severity, duration, recurrence, etc., to determine whether you have acute or chronic sinusitis.

Other diagnostic tests that help diagnose the presence and severity of sinusitis are:

Imaging tests: CTs and MRIs help examine the details of the sinuses and the nasal area for inflammation, nasal polyps, tumors, infection, etc.
Endoscopy: A diagnostic endoscopy involves the insertion of a long thin, flexible fiber-optic light to visualize the sinuses for the diagnosis of nasal problems like deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps, nasal tumors, etc.
Allergy test: In addition to infection, another condition that may be triggering recurrent sinusitis is an allergy.
Tissue swab/culture: Tissue cultures are very important for the diagnosis and treatment of sinusitis.

Treatments for Sinusitis

Medical management: Based on the results of the diagnostic tests, your ENT doctor will prescribe you medicines to help manage and reduce your symptoms.
Surgery: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery, or FESS surgery, is a common and effective treatment for chronic sinus infections. It is a minimally invasive procedure in which the surgeon uses a magnifying endoscope to remove the infected tissues in the sinuses.

In contrast to conventional surgery, FESS is less invasive and promises better recovery with minimal scarring. It is usually performed under local anesthesia. The surgical instruments are inserted through the nose to preserve aesthetic appearance. The infected sinuses are located, drained and then washed using a saline solution. After all the infected tissue is removed, the incisions are closed.

What Lifestyle Changes Can I Make to Prevent the Recurrence of Sinusitis?

10 tips you can follow to avoid the recurrence of sinus infections are:

Avoid upper respiratory infections. Do not have physical contact with people who have colds or other infections.
Wash your hands with soap and water frequently, especially before meals.
If you have allergies then try to keep those under control and avoid contact with your allergens as much as possible.
Avoid contact with tobacco smoke and other air pollutants, even second-hand smoke.
If you feel that the air in your home is dry, then use a humidifier. Make sure that your humidifier is free of any dirt or mold by regularly cleaning it.
Regularly wash/irrigate your sinuses using a neti pot or other similar devices.
Avoid antibiotics as they may harm the natural bacterial flora that exists in the nasal cavity. If you are taking any antibiotics, then take oral probiotics to replenish this flora.
If you want to swim, then swim in saltwater pools instead of chlorinated pools as they are less irritating to nasal sinuses.
Try to maintain a healthy lifestyle to ensure you have a strong immune system that can fight all types of infections.

What Happens if Sinuses Are Not Drained Surgically for Chronic Sinusitis Patients?

If left untreated, chronic sinusitis can cause serious complications.

Due to the close proximity, sinus infections can easily spread to the eyes and lead to redness, swelling, and reduced vision, known as orbital cellulitis. In severe cases, it may even lead to blindness.
If sinus infections spread to the brain, it can lead to a brain abscess or meningitis, which can be life-threatening.
Chronic sinusitis can cause hyposmia, or reduced sense of smell, in addition to nasal obstruction and olfactory nerve inflammation. This can eventually turn to anosmia, i.e., complete loss of sense of smell.
A paranasal mucocele can be formed which can lead to the obstruction of sinus drainage.
Cavernous sinus thrombosis is the development of a blood clot in the cavernous sinuses and can be life-threatening.

How Can I Improve Recovery After FESS Procedure?

Proper postoperative care is an important part of the recovery process. To improve recovery after the surgery, you should follow the given instructions:

Keep your head elevated using extra pillows to reduce postoperative bleeding and swelling, especially during the first 24 hours after the surgery.
Make sure that your nasal splint/packing material is not dislodged. You may need to breathe through your mouth if your nose feels too blocked, but you cannot remove the splint/tissue packing.
Though a little bleeding and drainage are common after the surgery, in case there is too much of either, contact your ENT surgeon immediately.
Do not cough, sneeze or blow your nose for at least a week after the surgery. If sneezing is unavoidable, try to sneeze through your mouth.
Do not perform any heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, or any other activity that can put a strain on your face as they can irritate the surgical site and increase bleeding.
Only take medicines that have been prescribed by your doctor. Medicines like aspirin slow down clotting and can cause a hemorrhage.
Visit your doctor for a follow-up consultation within a week of the surgery to make sure that you are healing appropriately.

At Pristyn Care, we have a team of highly experienced and qualified doctors who specialize in providing advanced treatments with a patient-first approach.

How long does it take to recover from FESS procedure?

After sinus surgery, you can return to work within 1 week of the surgery, however, if your work entails physical labor, you may need to wait 4-5 weeks before returning to work. A patient can resume their regular routine within 3 weeks of the surgery. You may have to visit your ENT specialist for follow-up visits for 3-4 months to ensure there is no recurrence.

Is FESS operation effective for sinusitis treatment?

FESS surgery is very effective in relieving sinusitis symptoms as it directly targets the symptomatic areas. Since the surgery is performed using an endoscope, it is very precise. However, proper aftercare is required after the surgery to ensure that the effects of sinusitis treatment can are permanent.

Is FESS covered under health insurance?

FESS is usually covered by most major insurance providers. However, the extent of the coverage depends on the terms of the policy. Pristyn Care has a dedicated insurance team that can help you with the entire insurance documentation and claim process.

Can FESS surgery be repeated?

Yes. One of the rare complications of sinus surgery is further sinus obstruction to adhesion of the sinus. In such a case, a revision sinus surgery is performed to clear the air pathways and provide better results than the initial sinus surgery.

Is FESS operation painful?

FESS is performed under either general or local anesthesia, as such, the surgery is not painful. However, depending on the extent of the sinus infection, there may be mild to moderate pain after the surgery that generally feels like a blocked sinus. Pain after sinus surgery lasts for about a week and is managed through over-the-counter pain medications and anti-inflammatories.

How long does it take to complete FESS surgery?

Generally, a FESS procedure lasts for about 2-2.5 hours, although this time range can vary a lot depending on which sinuses are infected and how much the infection has spread.

What are the recurrence rates for sinusitis after sinus surgery?

Sinus issues can be very persistent, i.e., they can easily return even after sinus surgery, however, their recurrence rates are highly variable and depend on the patient themselves. According to research conducted by BMC (BioMed Central), the recurrence rates for sinusitis after FESS ranges from 4% to 60%, with a median of 20% over a two-year period.
