The cavities in the skull bones, which are continuous with the nose as a whole, are called sinuses. Sinuses, whose main functions are to reduce the weight of the head and defend against microbes, can also become infected under normal conditions.
However, there may be a “chronic disease” of the sinuses with a frequency of infection over a certain number of times.
It prepares the ground for diseases such as chronic sinusitis, fatigue and weakness, and snoring.
In chronic sinusitis that does not respond to preventive treatment methods and drug treatments used for a sufficient period of time, sinus surgery may be the remedy.
In today’s modern conditions, sinus surgeries are almost always performed endoscopically with special tools that work completely inside the nose without making any incisions.
Endoscopic sinus surgery has a very fast recovery time as it causes very little damage to the tissue.
It is an almost painless application, and it is possible to return to daily life after a few days of nasal congestion.
