Nasal Endoscope

nasal polyp surgery stories?!?

im about to have nasal polyp surgery done soon with the endoscope. I would really enjoy having people tell me of their experiences with nasal polyps. and did they have to break your nose? and whats the worst part of nasal polyp surgery? did they come back? did you lose your sense of smell? i am so nervous!

I had my polyps removed last thursday, a week ago.
at 9-30am I entered the prep room for the anasthetic, within 2 minutes i was asleep.
The next thing i know is I am looking at the clock saying 2pm and have an oxygen mask over my face.
The first thing i wanted to do was to get the mask off, maybe thats just me, but the nurse said leave it on as it helps clot the blood.
Then about half an hour later i was a bit more with it and walked to the recovery room and sat in there for4 hours.
in that time i was made about 4 cups of tea and 2 glasses of water.
Three o clock comes and the nurse says i am going to give you some painkillers and then at four o clock we will be taking the packing out of your nose.
4pm comes and i walk to a cubicle and the packing comes out.......this bit was not nice. I lost about a pint of blood but the nurse was brilliant and calmed me. when they get pulled out it feels weird, like when you crunch a leather sofa in your hand.....but in your head and you have to pull your head against the nurse pulling the tampon out of your nose, i can say there wasnt any pain but the experience of the blood coming out was not nice.
6pm comes and off home i go.
i actually felt quite wide awake, but for the next 3 days i slept 3 hours and was awake 3 hours, you get a wipeout kind of feeling where your energy is just zapped.
had fish and chips on the fourth day.........THE FIRST SMELL!WOW
this was my first smell and it was amazing, it really hit me then i could smell again, and taste.
from there my smell and taste was better day by day, but there is like a dog smell i could smell, but i was told it was the blood in my nose.
day 6,7 and 8 was a little uncomfortable as the clots wanted to come out and i snorted them down my throat and out my mouth, they come out black and make you gag.
there are no black eyes, i was told i looked ten years younger, maybe a little exxagerated but my face has changed for the better and i feel absolutely great, there are no words.
i am glad i had it done, the way i see it is if you can put up with 3 days of inconvenience and a little dizziness it worth it, or you could carry on feeling tired, no smell or taste and grumpy, which is what i was, my energy levels now are brilliant.
ADVICE: i put cold water in the fridge, really cold that helped alot and it also helps your complexion alot. carry on with it, and it helps with the blocked nose.
there is nothing to worry about, i worried like you but my god, i feel different, even driving........it feels like a new car, i feel like a new me.
have it done you wont regret it.
take care

Balloon sinuplasty is Painless Innovative Technique to Save Nasal Hindrance

Balloon sinuplasty is an innovative technique used by many doctors to help people who are suffering from sinusitis. Sinusitis is an infection or inflammation of the sinus cavities obstructing proper drainage, which may consequence in facial pain, headaches and nasal congestion. Sinusitis affects around 40 million of people each year which makes it one of the most common infections only in United State. Balloon sinuplasty is conducted as an outpatient process with negligible pain, no swelling or bruising, less bleeding because there are fewer traumas to the sinus lining and less tissue removal, which lead to a speeder recovery after surgery.

Process of Balloon sinuplasty:

ENT specialist inserts a catheter a small, flexible tube inside the nostrils up into the blocked sinus. The catheter has a tiny balloon on its tip which is inflated when inside the blocked sinus passage, just enough to open the sinus passage. There is no cutting involved, the balloon spreads the linings apart and permit the sinuses to drain. Once the duct is open, the balloon is then deflated and removed. As per balloon sinuplasty doctors advises that there are higher chances that the separated linings of nasal pore can go back to its original size before having balloon sinuplasty, because you have not treated the problem. With balloon sinuplasty you may have to undergo this procedure many times with out any difficulties.

Benefits of Balloon sinuplasty

Sinus surgery, which is the standard procedure in the treatment of chronic sinusitis, also aims at widening the sinus opening but by removing the tissue surrounding it. But baloon sinuplasty accomplished the same without any cutting of tissue. This avoids the pain and swelling that follow surgery. It also means balloon sinuplasty can be performed as a day care procedure. The procedure is proving especially good for the frontal sinus, whereas most endoscopic surgeons find frontal sinus surgery difficult and challenging.

Balloon sinuplasty widens the sinus opening by only fracturing the surrounding bone and not removing it. This may lead to the opening gradually becoming narrow again, requiring the procedure to be repeated without any kinds of troubles to the patients.
