No single surgical technique has bought
about such a dramatic change
s
in attitude towards an entire field of
surgery like functional endoscopic surgery
(FESS) for sinus diseases. By targeting
the disease cause, rather than the effect,
and by preservation of normal anatomical
structures as far as possible, FESS surgery
has given great comfort for patients suffering
from disease of the paranasal sinuses.
In Dr. Manoj’s ENT, these principles
are carefully adhered to. First, an accurate
diagnosis is made with diagnostic endoscopy
and lung function tests to eliminate or
treat the allergy component that predisposes
to most sinus diseases. With this, a lot
of unnecessary surgery is avoided and
patients who are cured of allergy find
a dramatic difference in the quality of
their lives. If, even after this treatment,
surgery would be necessary, we have the
most modern equipment to make this as
painless as possible. Advanced Storz range
of endoscopes including the 70 degree
scopes, top-end storz instruments, high
end storz three chip cameras dedicated
to FESS, Medtronic XPS 3000 debrider systems
with endodrills and dedicated coblator
probes make this the only facility in
Kerala so extensively equipped. Considering
that we treat more patients successfully
with medical methods rather than surgery,
we are too well-equipped, but we stand
by our policy that no stone is unturned
to give you top-class, safe, effective
surgery should you require it.
Almost all patients leave hospital the
same day after FESS surgery and due to
the advanced techniques we employ, uncomfortable
nasal packing is not done, so that patients
can breathe normally after surgery. Our
patients are back to work the very next
day, and postoperative care is minimum,
almost non-existent. This is precisely
what other techniques like balloon sinuplasty
offer, but at a much higher cost, and
serious limitation in treating all sinus
diseases.
