Introduction

Endoscopic sinus surgery opens blocked sinus pathways through the nostrils using a camera and fine instruments. It is planned around symptoms, nasal examination and imaging.

When it may be considered

An ENT specialist may discuss it for persistent sinus disease, nasal polyps or obstruction that has not improved with appropriate medical treatment.

How it is performed

The surgeon removes selected obstruction and preserves healthy tissue while widening drainage pathways. Septoplasty or other procedures may be combined when indicated.

Treatment cost by approach

Published costs can differ by procedure type, clinical complexity and what the hospital includes. These figures are informational planning estimates; the treating team confirms the applicable price after reviewing the patient’s records.

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery

$687 - $750

Balloon sinuplasty

$375 - $625

Caldwell-Luc surgery

$315 - $500

What can affect the final cost?

The total can change with the procedure technique, clinical complexity, surgeon and hospital, room category, investigations, medicines, implants or devices, complications, rehabilitation and follow-up. Ask the hospital which items are included before making travel arrangements.

Preparing for treatment

Before endoscopic sinus surgery, bring relevant reports, imaging, medication and allergy information. Ask whether fasting, medicine changes, additional tests or a responsible adult are needed.

Available techniques

Ask which approaches are suitable and why one is preferred for your case.

Expected benefits

Clarify the realistic treatment goal, expected improvement and limitations.

Tests and medicines

Confirm investigations, medication changes, fasting instructions and allergies.

Continuity of care

Agree how records and discharge information will be shared with your doctor at home.

Recovery and follow-up

Recovery after endoscopic sinus surgery varies with the technique and the patient’s health. The hospital should explain expected symptoms, activity limits, warning signs, follow-up and when normal activities can resume.

Risks and alternatives

Possible risks depend on the procedure and individual factors. Ask about bleeding, infection, anaesthesia, treatment-specific complications, recurrence, alternatives and what support is available if recovery changes.

Questions for your treating specialist

Who will assess whether endoscopic sinus surgery is suitable?

Ask which specialist reviews the records, what findings would change the recommendation and whether a second opinion is appropriate.

What is included in the proposed plan?

Request a written explanation of tests, professional fees, hospital care, medicines, devices, follow-up and exclusions.

How will follow-up work after returning home?

Agree who shares the discharge summary, which warning signs need urgent care and how the treating team communicates with your local doctor.
