Indications for FESS surgery – when is surgical treatment necessary?
Operacja FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery), czyli funkcjonalna endoskopowa operacja zatok, jest nowoczesną
FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery), or functional endoscopic sinus surgery, is a modern and minimally invasive method of treating chronic sinus conditions. The indications for the procedure are primarily chronic inflammation of the paranasal sinuses that is not sensitive to drug treatment, i.e. that persists for at least 12 weeks despite the use of intranasal steroids, rinses and antibiotic therapy. FESS surgery is also used for recurrent acute sinus infections, nasal polyps, mucormycosis, fungal sinus infections or anatomical abnormalities that impede proper sinus ventilation (e.g. curvature of the nasal septum, concha bullosa). Other indications are the presence of cysts, benign sinus tumours and the need to remove foreign bodies or repair cerebrospinal fluid leaks. FESS surgery restores the patency of the natural sinus outlets and improves mucosal function, and the decision to perform it should always be preceded by a thorough diagnosis and a trial of endoscopic sinus cleaning.
What does endoscopic FESS surgery involve?
Endoscopic sinus surgery using a microscope and an endoscope allows, in a minimally invasive manner, the dilatation of the sinus orifices so that secretions can escape freely. Endoscopic treatment can stop the process of mucosal hypertrophy and thus protect us from more serious complications. Surgery performed in this way offers the chance to improve the condition of the sinuses, while leaving no visible scars as it is performed inside the nose. The procedure aims to restore normal nasal cavity patency.
Surgical instruments are inserted through the nasal orifices. The surgeon uses a surgical endoscope and can thus follow the image on the monitor. Special forceps are used to widen the natural connections between the paranasal sinuses and the nasal cavities. Through this, the function of the sinuses, their natural clearing of mucus and ventilation is improved. It is a much more sensitive method than those previously used.
Latest techniques for performing endoscopic sinus surgery
In order to provide Patients with the maximum possible comfort after surgery, at Medicus Clinic, modern Nasopore dressings are used. Unlike traditionally used tamponades (a narrow bandage several tens of centimetres long), this type of dressing better protects post-operative wounds in the nasal cavities. This significantly reduces the recovery period. In addition, over time the dressings turn into a gel and after a few days the patient can simply blow them off. There is therefore no question of the pain associated with tampon removal.
Sinus surgery privately price
Private treatment is a completely different dimension of medical care especially at Medicus Clinic. Our doctors assess the eligibility criteria and complexity of the procedure, and the procedure is priced on this basis.

Recovery after FESS sinus surgery
After endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) at Medicus Clinic, the patient stays in a comfortable room under the constant care of the nursing staff, so they can feel safe. In addition, the patient is in constant telephone contact with the operating physician. One week after the procedure, there is a follow-up visit and then the patient systematically reports for nasal cavity cleaning. Physical exertion is possible one month after the procedure.
