Advanced Sinus Treatment at Relentcare ENT Centre, Thrissur

​

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic sinus conditions. At Relentcare ENT Centre, we utilize cutting-edge nasal endoscopy to clear blocked sinuses, improve breathing, and provide long-term relief—without external incisions.

​

Why Choose FESS?

​

FESS is recommended for individuals suffering from:

• Chronic sinusitis that doesn’t respond to medication.

• Nasal polyps obstructing normal airflow.

• Recurrent sinus infections causing persistent discomfort.

​

How FESS Works

​

The procedure is performed using a thin, high-precision endoscope to access and clear sinus blockages. Under general anesthesia, our ENT specialists carefully remove obstructive tissues, restoring natural sinus drainage and function. The entire procedure typically lasts about two hours.

​

Benefits of FESS

​

• Minimally invasive (no external cuts or scars)

• Quick recovery (return to normal activities in about a week)

• High success rate (80-90% of patients experience lasting relief)

​

Post-Surgery Care & Recovery

​

• Avoid blowing your nose for at least a week.

• Expect some mild bleeding or mucus discharge during healing.

• Use saline nasal rinses, Nasal sprays to keep your sinuses clear.

• Full recovery may take a few months, but most patients resume daily activities within one to two weeks.

​

Potential Risks (Rare but Possible)

​

• Temporary loss of smell

• Increased tear production

• Mild bleeding (rarely severe)

• Extremely rare complications like CSF leaks or vision changes
