Polypectomy: Endoscopic Removal of Nasal Polyps

**Polypectomy** is the surgical removal of **nasal polyps**—soft, painless, noncancerous growths that hang down like grapes from the lining of the nose or sinuses. While non-malignant, these growths can expand and block the nasal passages and sinus openings, leading to chronic discomfort and significant health issues.

Dr. Divya S. Gupta performs Polypectomy using advanced **endoscopic techniques** to safely and precisely remove the polyps, clear blockages, and restore the patient’s ability to breathe, smell, and taste normally. This procedure is almost always performed in conjunction with **Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)** to maximize long-term sinus health and prevent recurrence.

The Impact of Nasal Polyps

Nasal polyps are typically caused by chronic inflammation related to asthma, allergies, chronic infections, or specific immune disorders. They lead to several debilitating symptoms:

  • Persistent nasal congestion and difficulty breathing through the nose.
  • Reduced or complete **loss of smell (anosmia)** and taste.
  • Frequent headaches and facial pain or pressure.
  • Postnasal drip and chronic sinus infections.

The Endoscopic Polypectomy Procedure

Unlike outdated procedures, modern polypectomy is performed entirely through the nostrils with precision and minimal trauma.

Endoscopic Visualization

A thin, rigid endoscope provides a high-magnification, clear view of the nasal and sinus cavities, allowing the surgeon to precisely identify the base and extent of the polyps.

Precision Removal

Polyps are carefully removed using specialized instruments, such as micro-debriders (small rotating instruments that gently shave away soft tissue). This minimizes bleeding and avoids damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

Combined FESS Approach

Polyp removal alone often leads to recurrence. Therefore, **Polypectomy is usually combined with FESS** to widen the sinus drainage pathways and treat the underlying chronic inflammation, significantly reducing the chances of polyps returning.

Immediate Relief and Long-Term Function

Clear Nasal Airway

Immediate relief from nasal blockage and greatly improved breathing capacity.

Restored Sense of Smell

For many patients, the removal of the physical obstruction restores the ability to smell and taste.

Better Medical Management

Post-surgery, topical nasal sprays and rinses can penetrate the sinuses effectively, aiding in long-term control.

Recovery Expectations

  • Most patients go home the same day. Initial recovery involves 1-3 days of rest.
  • **Strict post-operative care** is essential, focusing on frequent, copious nasal saline rinsing to clear blood clots and crusting.
  • Long-term medical management, often including prescribed nasal steroids, is necessary to minimize polyp recurrence.
  • Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and bending over for 1-2 weeks.

If nasal polyps are preventing you from breathing freely and enjoying the sensations of smell and taste, Polypectomy can help.
