An easy-to-follow guide on FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) by Dr. Bikramjit Dhar — indications, recovery and outcomes.

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic sinusitis that does not respond to medical therapy. Dr. Bikramjit Dhar uses nasal endoscopes and micro-instruments to restore normal sinus drainage and ventilation.

Who may benefit:

  • Patients with recurrent or chronic sinus infections despite medications.
  • Patients with nasal polyps causing obstruction and recurrent infections.
  • Those with CT evidence of blocked sinus ostia.

What to expect:

  • Pre-op assessment and CT imaging.
  • Daycare or short-stay surgery depending on case complexity.
  • Post-op saline douching and follow-up debridements as required.

Outcomes: Most patients experience significant symptom relief and reduced need for antibiotics. For appointments: +91 9932269018.
