Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in Instituto de Otorrino
About the clinic
Endoscopic sinus surgery at Instituto de Otorrino in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, is a specialized procedure for treating chronic sinusitis. The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation, which confirms it meets international quality standards for medical care. This facility is unique in the region as it provides the only 24-hour urgent care specifically for ear, nose, and throat (ENT) issues.
Advanced Surgical Approach
The medical team uses functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) to treat patients who do not respond to standard medicine. Surgeons perform the procedure using endoscopes and microsurgical instruments. These tools allow for the precise removal of nasal polyps and other blockages. This method focuses on restoring natural drainage while protecting healthy tissue.
The clinic features five operating rooms dedicated entirely to ENT surgeries. This specialization helps the staff maintain high standards for every patient. Before the procedure, every patient must undergo a pre-anesthetic evaluation. This safety step helps the medical team plan for the general anesthesia used during the operation.
Recovery and Patient Care
Patients should expect some facial swelling and nasal congestion after the surgery. These symptoms typically last for a few days or weeks. The medical team provides specific instructions for nasal cleaning and a schedule for follow-up visits. Recovery is gradual, with breathing and comfort improving over time.
- Medical requirements: Bring all preoperative test results and a signed consent form.
- Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia for patient comfort.
- Post-op support: The clinic provides necessary medications and care protocols for home recovery.
- Urgent care: Patients have access to specialized 24-hour emergency ENT support if needed.
