Sinusitis is a condition that occurs as a result of inflammation of the sinus pathways due to various factors. Depending on the factors causing this condition, sinusitis is categorized into two separate types.
Acute sinusitis generally arises from upper respiratory tract disorders, viral infections, and the common cold. Acute sinusitis often responds well to medication. The second type of sinusitis is chronic sinusitis. Chronic sinusitis is a type that recurs continuously due to the formation of polyps within the nose. Although medication is initially used for this type of sinusitis, sinus surgery is generally required to reduce the size of the polyps.
How Is Sinus Surgery Performed?
Sinusitis is a condition that causes nasal congestion and can lead to eye and brain disorders if it progresses. For this reason, sinus surgery is commonly known as nasal congestion surgery.
The goal of sinus surgery is to remove the polyps and cysts that cause inflammation. Additionally, the sinus pathways are cleaned during this surgery, thereby opening the sinus passages.
Do Symptoms Recur After Sinus Surgery?
Patients often wonder whether nasal congestion or other symptoms related to sinusitis will recur after surgery. When performed by specialists, sinus surgery generally prevents the recurrence of related symptoms. However, like nasal aesthetic surgery, there are several factors that need to be considered in this type of surgery to ensure the effectiveness of the procedure.
In nasal aesthetic surgery, it is important to avoid trauma to the nose. In sinus surgery, it is essential to avoid dusty environments that could lead to the re-inflammation of the sinus pathways.
