FESS Surgery for Chronic Sinusitis: What Patients in Malda Should Know

FESS, or Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, is used when chronic sinusitis does not improve with proper medical treatment. It allows the surgeon to open blocked sinus pathways and remove tissue that is causing repeated infection or pressure.

When FESS may be considered

• Persistent sinus symptoms despite medicines
• Recurrent sinus infections
• Blocked nasal breathing with polyp disease
• Ongoing facial pressure, post-nasal drip, or smell loss

What patients usually want to know

• It is performed endoscopically through the nose
• The goal is better drainage and ventilation of the sinuses
• Recovery depends on the severity of disease and follow-up care
• Regular cleaning and review visits may be needed after surgery

Why a local ENT surgeon matters

For patients in Malda and nearby areas, FESS planning should be done by an otolaryngologist who can explain the diagnosis, show the imaging findings, and set realistic expectations before surgery.

Good pre-operative counseling and follow-up are as important as the procedure itself.
