Tests for nasal congestion
Assessment can check for swollen turbinates, blocked sinuses, a deviated septum, polyps, or allergies.
- ENT consultation: A specialist reviews symptoms and examines the nose.
- Fiberoscopic endoscopy: A thin scope allows the doctor to view the nasal passages.
- Endoscopic evaluation: Direct visualization helps assess the nose and sinuses.
- Computerized rhinomanometry: Measures airflow through the nose.
- 3D sinus CT: Creates detailed images of the sinuses.
- Allergy tests: Skin prick tests, total and specific serum IgE, Faber, and Polycheck tests can check for allergic causes.
Surgical options at MML Medical Center
- Conchoplasty with Celon coblation or diode laser: Reduces enlarged nasal turbinates while preserving the lining. The outpatient procedure uses local anesthesia. Healing takes about 4–5 weeks, with effects felt after about 2 weeks. The Celon option may be around $700.
- Balloon sinuplasty: A balloon catheter opens blocked sinus passages without incisions. It is performed as outpatient or day surgery.
- Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS): Surgery through the nostrils treats chronic sinus disease and polyps that obstruct breathing. Patients may have day surgery or overnight observation.
- Septoplasty: This operation corrects a deviated septum to improve airflow. It may involve day surgery or overnight observation.
- Nasal polypectomy: Endoscopic removal of nasal polyps can relieve blockage.
- Combined Celon palate and turbinate reduction: Bipolar radiofrequency treatment addresses enlarged turbinates alongside snoring or sleep-related breathing problems. It uses local anesthesia and is outpatient. The procedure may be around $1,400.
The center has 2 operating rooms, 11 hospital beds, and 9 diagnostic and treatment rooms. Its ENT service follows a day-surgery model, with overnight observation available for some operations. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.

Medical Specialties and Surgical Expertise
The clinic focuses on procedure-based surgical specialties and diagnostics. Its surgical team includes 15 doctors working across several departments.
Otorhinolaryngology (ENT)
ENT specialists treat diseases of the ears, nose, throat, and larynx. The department leads in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) performed through the nostrils. Dr. Michał Michalik, a pioneer in the field, introduced balloon sinuplasty to the clinic.
For tonsil or adenoid issues, the clinic uses several methods:
- Diode laser for precise tissue reduction
- Celon bipolar RFITT thermoablation for snoring and apnea
- Harmonic scalpel to minimize bleeding during surgery
The clinic also offers balloon sinuplasty (Balonoplastyka). This method uses flexible catheters to clear blocked sinuses without incisions. Surgeons also correct deviated septums and remove polyps causing nasal congestion.
Ophthalmology and Diagnostics
The ophthalmology department performs phacoemulsification for cataract treatment. Ultrasound breaks up the cloudy lens, which is then replaced with an intraocular implant. If cloudiness develops after surgery, posterior laser capsulotomy can restore clear vision.
Diagnostic tests support these treatments:
- Gonioscopy for glaucoma assessment
- Videonystagmography for balance disorders
- Tonal and impedance audiometry for hearing loss
- Computerized rhinomanometry for nasal airway testing
Specialists also manage chronic sinusitis linked to allergies. Testing includes skin prick tests and IgE antibody screenings.
Breast Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine
The breast surgery program offers oncoplastic tumor removal and risk-reducing mastectomies. Reconstruction options include implants, expanders, or LD flaps using tissue from the back. Surgeons also restore breast symmetry and reconstruct the nipple-areola complex.
Aesthetic medicine focuses on non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Dr. Marcin Repetowski performs botulinum therapy and wrinkle filling. These treatments target forehead lines and crow's feet.
Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory
The center runs a full-profile laboratory to support surgical planning. This means patients get accurate pre-treatment assessments in one location. Services include:
- Microbiological and bacteriological testing
- Histopathological analysis of tissue samples
- Tumor marker screenings
- Advanced sinus microbiome studies using nanopore sequencing
The clinic also participates in research to improve sinus treatment outcomes.
Services for International Patients
MML Medical Center operates within the Medicover network. This partnership enables collaboration with Medicover Hospital in Warsaw Wilanów for expanded care. Patients who need overnight medical supervision can stay at the clinic's ward. Staff monitor recovery and confirm readiness before discharge. The center's personnel speak Polish and English.
