Introduction
Nasal endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to examine the inside of the nasal passages and sinus openings with high precision.
Using a thin, flexible or rigid endoscope equipped with a camera and light source, ENT specialists can directly visualize areas that cannot be seen during a routine nasal examination.
Nasal endoscopy plays a critical role in diagnosing conditions such as chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, septal deviation, tumors, infections, and causes of persistent nasal symptoms.
