When Sinusitis Becomes Chronic
Sinusitis is diagnosed as chronic when inflammation of the paranasal sinuses persists for 12 weeks or longer despite medical therapy. Common symptoms include chronic facial pain, frontal headaches, thick nasal drip, loss of smell, and chronic fatigue.
How Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) Works
FESS is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that restores natural ventilation and drainage to the sinus cavities. Using Karl Storz HD endoscopes and micro-debriders, Dr. Dhirendra Singh Kushwah widens obstructed sinus ostia and removes polyps with millimeter precision—without any external facial cuts or bruising.
Post-Operative Recovery
Modern sinus surgery avoids painful traditional nasal packing by utilizing dissolving biodegradable hemostatic spacers. Most patients return to desk work and light routine activities within 48 to 72 hours.
