What is Polyp, a Cause of Sinusitis?
There are holes on the side walls of the nasal cavity that open to the sinuses. In this area, the sagging of edematous sinus mucosa from the sinus into the nasal cavity is called a polyp. Polyps, which can occur due to chronic infection, allergy, or structural reasons, can prevent the sinus content from draining into the nose, leading to chronic nasal inflammation and nasal congestion. Polyps, which also occur due to familial causes, can also occur as a result of some chronic diseases such as cystic fibrosis and asthma.
Negative Effects Due to Polyps
Polyps can cause nasal congestion, snoring, headaches, sleep apnea, throat infections and difficulty in smelling. They also cause colds and flu infections to last longer.
Do Polyps Require Surgery?
If the polyps are large, they can be treated endoscopically with sinus surgery. With this method, polyps are removed without making a skin incision, while preserving the physiological structure of the nose, and the blocked sinus openings are widened. In this way, the inflammation in the sinus is cleaned and in the event of a possible sinusitis in the future, the sinus content can easily drain into the nose.
Polyps that are removed with endoscopic sinus surgery carry the risk of recurrence if they develop due to allergies. Therefore, regular ear, nose and throat check-ups after surgery are important. However, polyps that develop due to diseases such as cystic fibrosis, asthma or aspirin allergy reduce the success rate with sinus surgery. In patients with chronic diseases, recurrence of polyps can be prevented with drug treatment first and then frequent check-ups.
Things to Consider After Sinusitis Surgery
The dressings to be applied after the surgery are very important. The inside of the nose should be cleaned and the dressings should be done regularly. After paranasal sinus surgery, dressings should be applied twice a week in the first stage. Afterwards, it is necessary to come for check-ups at the times determined by your doctor according to the healing and recovery process of the mucosa in the nose.
