The main treatments for nasal polyps are medication and surgery. There are two main types of nasal polyp surgery, endoscopic sinus surgery and traditional sinus surgery, both of which are very sophisticated today and the patient’s experience during surgery is not very painful.
Endoscopic surgery removes the diseased tissue that makes up the polyp and corrects any sinus problems associated with the inflammation. The surgeon inserts an endoscope into the nostril to reach the nasal cavity and then uses minimally invasive surgical instruments to remove the polyp.
Traditional sinus surgery is primarily used for cancer surgery and severe infections, and the incision needs to be made from the surface of the skin directly into the interior of the nose. Various routine incisions, stripping, hemostasis, and incisions are performed. The invasion of the operation will be relatively large. However, the extent of the lesion removed will be more thorough. This procedure is rarely used for benign nasal polyps.
All surgeries are risky and so is the surgery for nasal polyps, which can have some rare side effects. You need to take proper rest after the surgery for nasal polyps and if you experience some pain and discomfort, you can take some painkillers prescribed by your doctor. It is important to pay attention to your own protection after the surgery.
Surgery for nasal polyps is mainly to remove nasal polyps. This procedure may cause discomfort to the patient, but the surgery will not cause any major pain.
