Contraindications
The main contraindication is active respiratory infections: if they are present, surgery should be postponed until complete recovery. Other contraindications:
- Severe blood disease. Hemophilia and other conditions associated with poor blood clotting increase the risk of bleeding during and after surgery
- Severe forms of allergies (for example, Quincke's edema). Against this background, the sensitivity of the nasal mucosa increases
Surgery is not performed against the background of serious problems with the heart and lungs: this is due to the fact that the presence of these problems increases the risk of complications during surgery.
Indications for surgery
Endoscopic sinusotomy is prescribed against the background of chronic sinusitis. In this condition, inflammation of the paranasal sinuses continues for more than 12 weeks. This disease is accompanied by constant congestion and pain in the face.
Another indication is fungal infections of the paranasal sinuses.
Other indications:
- Chronic rhinitis Long-term inflammation of the nasal mucosa, in which a runny nose does not go away even after washing and using sprays. Symptoms: nasal congestion, heavy discharge and frequent sneezing
- Nasal polyps Benign soft growths on the nasal mucosa or sinuses. They cause blockage of the nasal passages, complicate breathing and reduce the sense of smell
- Deformation of the nasal septum An anatomical deviation in which the nasal septum is so curved that it makes it difficult to breathe normally through the nose and contributes to the development of sinusitis
Preparation
Before the operation, the otolaryngologist performs an endoscopic examination of the nasal structures. To clarify the diagnosis, a CT scan of the paranasal sinuses may also be required.
Additionally, the patient needs:
- Do general and biochemical blood tests
- Have a coagulogram
- Take a chest x-ray
- Make an electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Consult an anesthesiologist
If the patient is taking medications that affect blood clotting, he should discuss with his doctor the possibility of temporarily stopping them.

What is endoscopic sinusotomy?
During the operation, an endoscope, a thin and flexible instrument, is inserted through the nasal passages. It allows the doctor to monitor the condition of the sinuses and remove pathological formations that contribute to the development of unpleasant symptoms.
