Nasal Endoscopy with Removal, Foreign Body Procedure
A nasal endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows the physician to see inside the patient’s nose and sinus passages. If there are any foreign bodies in the nose or sinus passage, the physician will remove them. During the procedure, the physician will insert a thin, flexible tube with a light source and camera at its tip called an endoscope into the nostril. The endoscope provides high-definition images of the nasal passages, sinuses, and nasopharynx. This technique allows for close examination of nasal anatomy, identifying abnormalities such as polyps, tumors, or inflammation.
When is This Procedure Necessary?
Nasal endoscopy is considered medically necessary if a patient presents chronic sinusitis symptoms or has a suspected tumor in the nose. This procedure provides visual confirmation of these growths and helps guide subsequent treatment plans, which may involve medical management or surgical intervention. Furthermore, when patients complain of persistent nasal obstruction or difficulty breathing through the nose, nasal endoscopy assists in identifying potential obstructions such as deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or narrowing of the airway necessitating corrective measures.
What To Expect
Doctors will administer a numbing spray to ensure the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure. During the procedure, the surgeon will insert an endoscope into the nose. They will then guide it through the nasal and sinus passages to view the region through the image produced by the endoscope transmitted to a monitor. If the surgeon identifies a foreign object, they will use specialized tools to carefully remove the obstruction.
Recovery from a nasal endoscopy with foreign body removal involves following specific guidelines provided by the healthcare professional, which may include avoiding activities that could potentially compromise the delicate nasal passages, such as strenuous physical exertion or blowing one’s nose forcefully.
