Clinical Benefits of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
For some, medical therapy will not provide lasting relief from the symptoms of chronic or recurrent sinusitis, and balloon sinus dilation may not be an option. Endoscopic sinus surgery, or ESS, expands the sinus drainage pathways to help restore drainage and heal the sinus mucosa.
In multiple studies, patients who receive functional endoscopic sinus surgery show a statistically significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life following surgery. 1
There are several approaches to ESS. Should you be a candidate for ESS, Dr. Saffold and our ENT Practitioners at Virginia Sinus Center will discuss the option they recommend for you, as well as the risks associated with ESS.
Quick, Easy Recovery
Recovery times for ESS vary, based on the extent of the procedure. Many people return to normal activities within one to two weeks following surgery. 2
