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. FESS techniques are also extending the boundaries of the ENT speciality to crossover to other disciplines. The live surgeries included endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (performed usually by ophthalmologists for blockage of the flow of tears), cerebrospinal fluid leak and removal of pituitary tumours (neurosurgery domain). The procedures were performed by a team that included Niell Boustred and Raymond Sacks from Australia, Dharambir Sethi (Singapore) and Ravi Ramalingam of the KKR Hospital.
The workshop also featured the introduction of an advanced equipment, the Micro Debrider System for accurate clearance and removal of sinus disease.
