Nasal polyps look like small grapes hanging in the nose, but the only thing they actually do is block your breathing, kill your sense of smell and trap mucus where it shouldn't be. Endoscopic polyp surgery removes them precisely without cutting the face.
Polyps grow inside the nose and sinuses when the lining gets chronically inflamed, usually because of long-term allergy or recurring sinus infection. Sprays and steroids help shrink small ones, but once polyps are big enough to physically block the airway, surgery is the only reliable way to clear them.
We use a powered microdebrider, a slim instrument that shaves polyps cleanly while sealing tiny blood vessels. Compared with older 'pull and pack' techniques, recovery is faster and there is much less bleeding. Most patients are discharged the same day.
A clear, no-jargon walk-through of the symptoms that lead to surgery, and the exact steps inside the operating theatre.
Surgery becomes the right call when polyps are big, recurrent, or no longer responding to medication:
Polyp surgery is endoscopic and almost always combined with sinus clearance (FESS) so the underlying disease is also treated:
A realistic timeline of how Rajkot patients typically recover, what's normal, what's not, when to call.
Mild stuffy feeling, small saline-blood drainage. Painkillers as needed.
Breathing improves. Most patients back to work within a week.
Endoscopic clean-up at follow-up, quick OPD procedure.
Smell often returns dramatically. Long-term allergy management starts.
Nasal polyp surgery in Rajkot generally costs ₹50,000 to ₹1,20,000. Cost depends on whether polyps are limited or extensive, and whether sinus clearance and septoplasty are combined.
If you have allergic polyposis, polyps can slowly recur over years. We minimise the chance with a long-term steroid spray and allergy-control plan, and most patients stay polyp-free for years after surgery.
Endoscopic polyp surgery is one of the safer ENT procedures when done by an experienced surgeon. Serious complications are rare. We discuss specific risks for your case at the consultation.
Small polyps sometimes shrink with strong steroid sprays. Larger ones don't. We try medical management first wherever it makes sense.
Most polyp surgeries are done under general anaesthesia for patient comfort, especially when sinus work is combined.
Many patients notice smell returning in the first 2-4 weeks as the swelling settles. Long-standing smell loss may take longer.
