Many patients with nasal polyps are treated with intranasal polyp removal surgery and then relapse after a short period of time, experiencing the pain but not the root, these patients often ask the question, “Why are nasal polyps prone to recurrence?”
What is nasal polyp?
To treat nasal polyps, we first need to find out what nasal polyps are. Generally speaking, nasal polyps are secondary to or complications of various nasal diseases, such as some chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis patients who have been suffering from the disease for a long time, it is possible to cause nasal polyps this disease. Long-term nasal inflammation, allergies, thick nasal irritation, small veins under the nasal mucosa will occur thrombosis affect the blood return, resulting in nasal mucosa edema, sagging polyp formation.
The shape of nasal polyps resembles grapes or lychee like tumors, into a light red or grayish white, for patients who have been sick for a long time, older, polyps surface is not smooth, easy to bleed when touched, there may be the possibility of malignant transformation.
Beware of the dangers of nasal polyps The nose is not a large organ, but the structure in the nasal cavity is very complex, narrow and not very visible, making it quite difficult to do surgery in the nasal cavity. And nasal polyps usually grow more than one, it is good to have more than one, and it is common to have five or six nasal polyps at a time. The most problematic part is that nasal polyps are not only confined to the nasal cavity, but can also invade the sinuses. The sinuses are different shaped cavities around the nasal cavity and are close to the orbits of the eyes and the skull. Once a nasal polyp invades the sinus, as the size keeps increasing, it will inevitably compress or even squeeze through the sinus wall, threatening the orbit and brain, causing serious diseases such as meningitis and intraorbital abscess.
Traditional methods of treating nasal polyps have many defects In the treatment, the traditional nasal polyp traps and other tools can only remove some of the obvious location of nasal polyps, the hidden nasal polyps are powerless, some large polyps and no way to uproot the residual tissue will continue to grow, resulting in recurrence. In addition, traditional surgery bleeds a lot and the doctor’s vision is not clear, which inevitably affects the thoroughness of the surgery, not to mention the patient’s pain.
Expert key recommendation: endoscopy combined with power system to easily treat nasal polyps The minimally invasive technology carried out by the nasal endoscope combined with the power system effectively solves the drawbacks of the previous treatment, and the treatment of nasal polyps is very ideal.
The nasal endoscope can easily enter the narrow cavity of the nasal cavity, magnify the lesion in the nasal cavity 500 times, and connect to the computer screen, which can observe the polyp eradication in the nasal cavity from the computer screen, just like putting a pair of “perspective eyes” on the doctor. It fundamentally solves the drawbacks of traditional black surgery which only removes large polyps but not small polyps.
The ear, nose and throat power system uses a high-speed electric cutting knife to treat polyps, and after treatment, it is combined with plasma technology to treat the root of polyps, effectively preventing the recurrence of polyps. In addition, these instruments are small in size and flexible in use compared to traditional instruments, and can be easily accessed for some parts of the sinuses that are not easily removed, without moving the knife throughout the process, giving the patient a minimally invasive and safe treatment environment.
Post-operative review of nasal polyps is important Post-operative review at the hospital after surgery. All experienced specialists must require patients with nasal polyp surgery to visit the hospital for regular post-operative review to ensure that the polyps are completely removed.
