Specialists like Dr. Wolfgang Gstoettner at Wiener Privatklinik utilize nasal endoscopy to confirm polyp presence. A sinus CT scan is mandatory before endoscopic sinus surgery to map anatomy and minimize risks.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Nasal endoscopy:</strong> Visualizes polyps and inflammation using a direct thin-tube camera.</li> <li><strong>Sinus CT scan:</strong> Provides detailed 3D mapping of bony structures before surgery.</li> <li><strong>Laboratory bloodwork:</strong> Includes complete blood count and coagulation tests for anesthesia safety.</li> <li><strong>Allergy mapping:</strong> Checks for triggers since polyps often link to underlying respiratory issues.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Bookimed Expert Insight:</strong> Vienna centers like Döbling Private Hospital integrate JCI safety protocols that prioritize preoperative CT imaging for its 16,000 yearly patients. Data confirms that top Austrian ENT surgeons are often university professors. Choosing a specialist like Dr. Birgit Knerer-schally ensures expertise in functional sinus procedures that target both symptoms and underlying causes.</p> <p><strong>Patient Consensus:</strong> Patients note that endoscopy is quick and manageable during the first visit.
