Scar-free nasal surgery

Staff Reporter

CHENNAI: ENT surgeons are taking a new route to treat common problems like sinusitis, nasal obstruction, nasal allergy and polyps — Image-guided Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS).

A live surgical demonstration of the latest FESS technique was the high point at the 10th international conference on endoscopic sinus surgery organised by the KKR ENT Hospital and Research Institute on Friday. About 400 ENT surgeons from all over the country participated in the event.

FESS is performed with the aid of nasal endoscopes that leave no post-operative scarring on the face.
