Delivering world class medical care
Nose endoscopy, or nasal endoscopy, is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that allows detailed visualization of the nasal passages and sinus structures. It is a quick and minimally invasive method to evaluate and treat various nasal and sinus issues effectively.
How Is Nose Endoscopy Performed?
- A thin, flexible or rigid endoscope equipped with a high-definition camera and light source is gently inserted into the nasal cavity.
- The real-time visuals are displayed on a monitor, enabling the ENT specialist to examine the inner nasal structures thoroughly.
When Is Nose Endoscopy Recommended?
Nose endoscopy is useful in diagnosing and managing:
- Chronic Sinusitis: Persistent inflammation or infection of the sinuses.
- Nasal Polyps: Abnormal growths in the nasal passages or sinuses.
- Nasal Obstruction: Blockages caused by structural abnormalities like a deviated septum.
- Bleeding Disorders: Identifying the source of recurrent or unexplained nosebleeds.
- Tumors or Masses: Detecting and evaluating abnormal growths.
- Allergic Rhinitis: Assessing inflammation caused by allergies.
Benefits of Nose Endoscopy
- Precision: High-definition imaging provides accurate diagnosis.
- Minimally Invasive: No incisions or surgical intervention required.
- Versatility: Can assist in both diagnosis and minor treatments.
- Comfortable Recovery: Minimal discomfort with no downtime.
Why Consider Nose Endoscopy?
Nose endoscopy is a safe and effective way to address nasal and sinus conditions. It allows ENT specialists to detect issues early, develop targeted treatment plans, and improve nasal health and overall breathing quality.
