Nasal Polypectomy

Nasal polypectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove nasal polyps that block the nasal passages.
 

The procedure:

  • Performed under local or general anaesthetic

  • A thin endoscope is inserted through the nostrils to provide a clear view inside the nose

  • The surgeon uses small instruments to carefully remove the polyps

  • Sometimes combined with sinus surgery to improve drainage

  • The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes

  • Recovery involves nasal sprays or rinses and follow-up visits to prevent polyp regrowth
     

This surgery helps clear nasal blockage and improve breathing.
