Introduction
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive ENT procedure used to restore normal drainage and ventilation of the sinuses.
It is most commonly recommended for patients with chronic sinusitis, recurrent sinus infections, or nasal polyps that do not respond to medical treatment.
Using high-definition endoscopic technology, ENT surgeons can precisely open blocked sinus pathways without external incisions.
