(ESC)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESC) is a minimally invasive surgical method for the treatment of problems such as congestion, chronic sinusitis and polyps in the nose and sinuses.<br \/>\nSinuses are air-filled cavities in the skull located around the nasal cavity.<br \/>\nInflammation or blockage of these sinuses causes breathing difficulties, headaches and a decrease in overall quality of life.<br \/>\nEndoscopic sinus surgery allows the sinuses to be opened and their normal function restored through incisions made through the nose.   <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why is Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Performed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Endoscopic sinus surgery is one of the first choices in the surgical treatment of sinus and nasal problems.<br \/>\nAmong the reasons for the application of this surgical method are the following: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chronic Sinusitis:<\/strong> If the sinuses become inflamed and blocked, surgical intervention may be necessary in cases where antibiotic and drug treatments are inadequate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sinus Polyps<\/strong> Polyps in the nose and sinuses block the airways and cause breathing difficulties.<br \/>\nESC is an effective method for removing polyps. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Nasal Congestion:<\/strong> It is used to relieve nasal congestion caused by structural problems or cysts and tumors in the sinuses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sinus Infections:<\/strong> In the treatment of recurrent sinus infections, surgical intervention may be performed to open the sinuses and provide drainage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Structural Disorders of the Sinuses:<\/strong> Congenital or post-traumatic structural disorders of the sinuses can be corrected with endoscopic surgery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Preparation Before Endoscopic Sinus Surgery<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the preoperative period, the patient&#8217;s condition is evaluated in detail and surgical planning is performed.<br \/>\nThings to consider before ESC surgery: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Clinical Examination and Imaging:<\/strong> The condition of the patient&#8217;s sinuses is examined by intranasal endoscopy and computed tomography (CT).<br \/>\nIn this way, the location, cause and extent of the obstruction are determined. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Medication Use:<\/strong> The use of blood thinners should be stopped before surgery.<br \/>\nIn addition, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs recommended by the doctor can be used. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Smoking and Alcohol:<\/strong> Smoking and alcohol can negatively affect the healing process after surgery.<br \/>\nTherefore, it is recommended to stop smoking and drinking alcohol in the preoperative period. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>How is Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Performed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Endoscopic sinus surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and may take 1-2 hours.<br \/>\nDuring the operation, an endoscope is inserted into the nasal cavity, allowing the surgeon to examine the internal structure of the sinuses in detail.<br \/>\nThe basic stages of the procedure are as follows:  <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Placement of the Endoscope:<\/strong> The endoscope inserted into the nose allows the surgeon to see and intervene in the sinus cavities with the help of a camera.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Opening of the sinuses<\/strong> The polyp, inflamed tissues or bone structure causing the blockage is removed with the help of special surgical instruments.<br \/>\nThis ensures normal air and mucus drainage of the sinuses. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Tissue Correction:<\/strong> If necessary, the internal structure of the sinuses is corrected to create openings through which mucus can drain freely.<br \/>\nThis prevents the sinuses from becoming blocked again. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Completion of the Procedure:<\/strong> After the opening and cleaning of the sinuses is completed, the endoscope is removed and the inside of the nose is checked.<br \/>\nAfter the surgery, tampons or special absorbent sponges can be placed inside the nose. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Postoperative Recovery Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The recovery period after endoscopic sinus surgery is usually comfortable and patients can return to their daily activities in a short time.<br \/>\nPoints to be considered: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Swelling and Congestion:<\/strong> There may be mild swelling and congestion in the nose after surgery.<br \/>\nThis condition decreases within a few days and nasal breathing returns to normal. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Nasal Cleaning:<\/strong> In the first weeks, the nose should be kept clean by washing it with special solutions.<br \/>\nThis helps to remove mucus and blood clots from the nose. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Medication Use:<\/strong> Antibiotics, painkillers and nasal sprays recommended by the doctor should be used regularly to prevent postoperative infection and reduce swelling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Activities:<\/strong> After surgery, physical activities, heavy lifting and straining that can damage the nose and sinus area should be avoided.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Risks and Side Effects<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Although endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure, it may have some risks and side effects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bleeding<\/strong> Postoperative intranasal bleeding may occur in rare cases.<br \/>\nIn this case, nasal tampons help to stop the bleeding. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Infection<\/strong> There is a risk of infection in the nose and sinuses.<br \/>\nTo prevent infection, the medication and cleaning instructions recommended by the doctor should be followed. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Crusting in the nose:<\/strong> Crusting and dryness in the nose may occur after surgery.<br \/>\nNasal wash solutions are used to alleviate this condition. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Injury<\/strong> Due to the close anatomical relationship of the sinuses with the eye, brain and large vessels, there is a rare risk of injury to the surrounding tissues.<br \/>\nTherefore, it is important that the surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon.
