At Mea Clinic, he conducts consultations and performs surgeries. For several years, a large group of his patients have been Russian-speaking patients. FESS (functional endoscopic sinus surgery) is a surgical technique involving minimally invasive surgical drainage of the paranasal sinuses. It involves intranasal opening of narrow spaces responsible for the development of chronic sinusitis and for the process of their mucociliary cleansing. Mucosal overgrowths, polyps, and small bone structures occurring in functionally unfavorable anatomical variants are removed. Another goal of the FESS operation is to open the sinuses in the most atraumatic way possible. The procedure lasts from 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the extent of the surgical procedure performed.
