Nasal & Sinus Surgery at Elyzee Hospital, Abu Dhabi — Restore Clear Breathing & Sinus Health
Elyzee Hospital in Abu Dhabi provides advanced nasal and sinus surgical care to treat chronic sinusitis, nasal obstruction and structural problems that affect breathing and quality of life. Our ENT surgeons combine modern endoscopic techniques with individualized care to reduce symptoms, improve airflow and deliver durable functional outcomes.
Why Choose Nasal & Sinus Surgery?
- Improved breathing: Correcting a deviated septum or removing obstructions restores nasal airflow and reduces mouth-breathing and snoring.
- Relief from chronic sinusitis: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) clears blocked sinus pathways and reduces recurrent infections and facial pressure.
- Targeted structural correction: Procedures such as septoplasty, turbinate reduction and polypectomy address the root causes of blockage for long-term benefit.
- Quality of life: Patients typically experience better sleep, less nasal congestion and fewer sinus infections after successful treatment.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Good candidates are adults and adolescents with persistent nasal obstruction, recurrent or chronic sinusitis despite medical therapy, nasal polyps, or symptomatic deviated septum. A thorough assessment at Elyzee Hospital — including endoscopic examination and imaging when needed — determines whether surgery is the best option for you.
Consultation & Preoperative Preparation
During your consultation at Elyzee Hospital, an ENT specialist will review your medical history, examine the nasal passages, and discuss non-surgical options tried so far. Preoperative instructions may include stopping certain medications that increase bleeding risk, managing allergies, and avoiding smoking. The surgeon will explain the chosen technique, expected benefits, and possible risks.
Common Procedures & What Happens During Surgery
- Septoplasty: Straightens a deviated septum to improve airflow. Usually performed under general or local anesthesia with sedation.
- Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS): Uses an endoscope to remove polyps and unblock sinus ostia, restoring natural drainage.
- Turbinate reduction: Reduces enlarged turbinates that cause chronic congestion — can be done with radiofrequency, coblation, or partial resection.
- Polypectomy: Precise removal of nasal polyps to reduce inflammation and obstruction.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Expect mild swelling, nasal congestion, and light bleeding for a few days. Pain is usually minimal and controlled with medications.
- Use saline irrigations, prescribed nasal sprays, and follow wound-care instructions from your surgeon to speed healing and reduce crusting.
- Most patients return to light activities within 1–2 weeks; full recovery depends on the procedure and individual healing.
- Follow-up visits are important to remove crusts, check healing, and adjust medical therapy if needed.
Expected Results
After healing, most patients enjoy clearer nasal breathing, fewer sinus infections, and improved sleep and daily comfort. Results vary by condition and adherence to post-op care, but functional improvements are often long lasting when surgery is performed by an experienced ENT team like the one at Elyzee Hospital.
Risks & Considerations
All surgeries carry risks — infection, bleeding, persistent symptoms, changes in smell, or the rare need for revision surgery. Your ENT surgeon at Elyzee Hospital will discuss individualized risks and strategies to minimize them during your consultation.
