Foreign body removal process
Using an endoscope, the doctor inserts instruments into the sinuses of the nose without resorting to incisions in the external tissues, after which he performs manipulation to remove the foreign body. The accuracy of the actions is ensured by visual control using an endoscope - the surgeon sees everything that happens on the monitor screen.
The operation is performed under anesthesia, which makes it painless for the patient. This method of treatment takes little time and does not require long postoperative recovery.
Diagnosis is carried out by an otolaryngologist using an examination of the nasal cavity, anamnesis and rhinoscopy. In all cases, if a foreign body is suspected, a computed tomogram and CT scan are necessary.

About the service
Foreign bodies in the nasal cavity and sinuses are very diverse, and sometimes the story of their entry is quite fantastic. The “champions” in this regard are children who stick everything they can get into their noses.
If the foreign object is small in size with a smooth surface, you can get by by blowing your nose. After removing a foreign body at home, you need to see a specialist to prevent the development of inflammation.
For adults, everything is more complicated. Iatrogenic foreign bodies, almost always in the maxillary sinuses, are filling material that has entered the sinus lumen. And dentists are rarely to blame; there are some anatomical prerequisites for such a development of events - sometimes the roots of the teeth extend into the lumen of the sinus.
We also encounter post-traumatic foreign bodies, fragments, debris, consequences of wounds (bullets of all types).
Treatment in this case is only surgical. As a rule, we use an endoscopic approach when treating such patients.
