Sinusitis

What is Sinusitis?
The largest (maxillary), the skull under the eyes, above the nasal (sphenoid sinus), above the eyes (frontal sinus) and between the eyes (ethmoid sinuses), there are many small air gaps. These air voids are called sine. Their inflammation causes sinusitis.

What are the sinuses?
The sinuses and nose are part of the respiratory system. Helps shape the sound individually and lighten the head in the body. Normally, the nose and sinuses secrete about half a liter of mucus per day. The produced mucus acts on the nasal cover (mucosa), sweeping and washing dust particles, bacteria and other airborne particles. This mucus is then drained back into the throat and swallowed. Particles and bacteria are destroyed by stomach acid. Many people are not aware of this because this process is a normal body function.

What are the Symptoms of Sinusitis?

There are two types of sinusitis: acute and chronic. In acute sinusitis; Symptoms of nasal congestion, yellow, green or bloody nasal discharge, pain around the eyes, cheek pain that can be confused with toothache, a feeling of pressure on the face, increased face or headache by leaning forward, bad breath. Sometimes you may also have dry cough, mild fever or stomach upset. In chronic sinusitis, the duration of symptoms is longer than three months. Dark nasal discharge, nasal discharge, nasal congestion, inability to smell, and especially cough symptoms at night can be seen.

Is there an effective treatment for sinusitis?

Acute sinusitis is treated with antibiotics and nasal openers. If the sinusitis has become chronic and sinus holes in the nose opening into the nostrils that can not be opened is necessary to treat the surgery.

What is discharge behind the nose?
Inside the nose; It produces too much mucus than usual when disturbed by air pollution, allergic substances, smoke or viruses. This is a secretion produced like plenty of clear water to wash and remove the allergic substance from the nasal membranes. A secretion of water is formed towards the back of the nose. This is the most important cause of backflow. Another type is mucus sticky and thick. This occurs when the airways are very dry and the membranes cannot release enough liquid. Infections caused by bacteria also show viscous and viscous mucus, while the color of the mucus may be yellow or green due to pus. In cases of nasal congestion due to influenza, influenza and sinusitis, discharge may occur backwards.

How to tell if headache is due to sinusitis?
In influenza, influenza and sinusitis, because the intranasal and sinus cavities are filled with mucus or inflammation, headache occurs on the face, cheeks, forehead or around the eye, depending on its pressure. In migraine and other vascular headaches or tension headaches, it creates pain both on the forehead and around the eyes. It can be confused with sinusitis because it can also cause a runny nose. However, this type of headache without a doctor's intervention in a short time to come and pass. It is different from sinusitis which lasts long without doctor intervention and can only be corrected with antibiotic treatment. However, occasional headaches that cause nausea and vomiting are more migraine headaches.


Does Sinusitis Recur After Surgery?

Sinusitis may recur if there is a severe nasal allergy and if the patient is not followed up well with medication.

Who is at Risk for Sinusitis?
- In allergic diseases,
- Nasal disease in childhood
- For smokers,
- Nose bones,
- Nose flesh,
- People with weak body resistance.


How to Prevent?
- Check if you're allergic,
- Treat when you have a cold, use steam humidifier.
- Sleep with the head of your bed raised.
- Nasal decongestants can be used in consultation with a doctor.
- Avoid contaminants that irritate your nose, especially cigarette smoke.
- Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly.
- Try to limit your relationship with people you know to be infected, if that doesn't happen, take some precautions (such as washing hands, not using common towels and gowns).

Sinusitis Treatment

What is Sinusitis?
Nasal, forehead, temple and around the eyes filled with air in the space, called the sinus. Sinuses open to the nose through the channels. There is a nasal mucosa in the ducts. The secretion produced by the mucosa ensures that the airways are heated and moist in the nose. Sinusitis is the inflammation of this mucosa.

In general, there are two types, acute and chronic. Acute sinusitis is a newly formed sinusitis and can be completely cured with appropriate treatment. Chronic sinusitis means a continuous inflammation of the sinuses and is difficult to treat.

What are the causes of sinusitis?
Sinusitis develops easily in a condition that prevents normal operation of the sinuses. It often occurs after upper respiratory tract infections. Because in such infections, the ducts of the sinuses are blocked and sinus secretions do not discharge into the nose and accumulate in the sinuses. Thus, microbes multiply in the sinus and inflammation develops. Again; Allergy, curvature of the nasal bone, nasal flesh, weakness of the immune system, turbinate hypertrophy also facilitate the development of sinusitis.

What are the symptoms of sinusitis?
Sinusitis is often mistaken for various headaches, especially migraine. However, the symptom of sinusitis is not only a headache.

There is pain in the face, eye and head (pain increases during coughing, heavy lifting or bending).
Yellow - Green Runny Nose, Bloody Runny Nose
Inability to smell
Throat ache
Inability to smell
Toothache
Light fire
Postnasal drip
Fatigue, weakness
Nausea, vomiting
High pressure sensation across the face
Cough
How is sinusitis diagnosed?
A detailed history of the patient is taken by a doctor who is an Otorhinolaryngologist. Physical examination is done. Computed tomography (CT) may be necessary for x-ray and chronic sinusitis to see the status of the sinuses.

Symptoms of acute sinusitis include facial (face) pain / pressure, nasal congestion, runny nose, decreased sense of smell.

It is also natural for patients with acute sinusitis to have fever, bad breath, fatigue, toothache and cough.

Acute sinusitis can last for four weeks or more. The patient may have two or more symptoms and / or dark green-yellow discharge.

If symptoms worsen after 5 days, acute bacterial infection may occur. If these conditions persist for 10 days or if the severity of symptoms is above normal, it may be associated with viral infection.

Treatment of Acute Sinusitis
Acute sinusitis can be treated to a large extent without the use of antibiotics with early diagnosis. If the infection is bacterial in origin and does not resolve, antibiotic treatment is applied. Decongestants, painkillers, nasal spray or drops also help to treat. If sinusitis is caused by an allergy, the causative agent should be eliminated. Smoking should be avoided during treatment.

Symptoms of Chronic Sinusitis

In chronic sinusitis, symptoms persist for 12 weeks or more. These;

Facial pain or pressure,
Congestion or bloating,
Nasal congestion,
Intense runny nose,
Colorless nasal discharge,
Pus in the nasal cavity (inflammation)
It is fire.
Also;

Headache,
Bad breath
Fatigue can also be observed as a sign of sinusitis.
Chronic Sinusitis Treatment
In chronic sinusitis, surgical method can be chosen. Balloon synoplasty may be performed depending on the patient's condition. In the post-sinus surgery period, dressings should be avoided without delay and sinusitis triggering reasons should be avoided.

Sinusitis treatment may be recommended if treatment with sinusitis is not effective with medications that your doctor deems appropriate and if there is a chronic condition.

What is the recovery time after surgery for sinusitis?
Simple endoscopic surgical procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia.

The patient returns to normal activities within 4 days. Complete recovery of sinusitis takes about 4 weeks.

What is the success rate of sinus surgery?
The operation for the treatment of sinusitis allows the sinuses to be opened naturally. Ear, nose and throat specialists and head and neck surgeons find endoscopic surgery quite successful in returning sinuses to normal function. This procedure opens the occlusion to ensure normal mucus flow.

How is a physical examination performed for sinusitis?
Firstly, a complete ear, nose and throat examination is performed by specialist doctors in our clinic. During a physical examination, the doctor will check for swelling or redness around and around your cheekbone.

Swelling and redness of the face is worse in the morning; shows a decrease during the day due to vertical posture. The doctor checks your sensitivity by pressing on your sinuses.

The doctor will also check your teeth to help identify the inflamed paranasal sinus.

What kind of treatment is recommended by a specialist?
To reduce congestion, the physician may prescribe nasal sprays, nasal drops or oral decongestants. Antibiotics (antibiotics are not effective against viral infections) are prescribed for any bacterial infection found in the sinuses. Antihistamines can be recommended for the treatment of allergies.

How is sinusitis diagnosed?
For the diagnosis of sinusitis, the patient undergoes a physical examination first. Immediately afterwards, other diagnostic tests are performed in our clinic. Laboratory examinations (mucus culture), nasal endoscopy, x-rays, allergy tests, computerized tomography of sinuses are among the tests performed for the diagnosis of sinusitis.

Nasal endoscopy is an important diagnostic tool for sinusitis.

What Relieves Sinusitis Pain?
Various measures can be taken at home to alleviate the pain of sinusitis. For example, hot and humid air helps to alleviate sinus obstruction and pain.

With a hot bath, steam shower, a container filled with hot water, you can relieve the pain of sinusitis by breathing in moist air or by compressing hot. For this several times a day, 5 minutes to 10 minutes, put a warm moist towel on your face. Saline nasal drops and sprays can help in removing congestion. However, consuming plenty of fluids is generally beneficial in relieving pain of sinusitis.

How effective are prescription pills and sprays for sinusitis?
The use of over-the-counter medications and sprays can help relieve symptoms such as sinusitis pain. However, prolonged use of decongestant nasal sprays may worsen symptoms, ie prolonged use of such medications may increase sinusitis headache. Saline nasal sprays or drops are safe for long-term use.

Is it necessary to change any lifestyle during the treatment of sinusitis?
Smoking is harmful in all circumstances. However, a smoker should not smoke during the treatment of sinusitis. No special diet is required. However, consuming plenty of fluids will help reduce the density of mucus fluid.

What happens if the infected sinuses are not treated?
Sinusitis causes constant pain and discomfort. So much so that these disturbances affect daily life negatively and reduce the labor force. Sinusitis may rarely cause meningitis, brain abscess, bone or bone marrow infection when untreated.

Where should people with sinus pain be treated?
If you have severe sinus pain, you should consult an otorhinolaryngologist or head and neck surgeon. Specialist doctors will perform your treatment with medication or surgical intervention.

Nasal Endoscopy
Nasal endoscopy is performed on the nose and sinus. Since local anesthesia is applied, there is no discomfort.

Endoscope; is a special fiber optic instrument for internal examination of a channel or hollow organ. Visual inspection of the nose and sinus evacuation areas with the endoscope is an effective method in the diagnosis of sinus depending on the preference of the physician.

Why Nasal Endoscopy?
Nasal endoscopy provides specialist physicians with a reliable, visual view of all areas of sinus evacuation pathways. For this imaging, the patient is first anesthetized into the nasal cavities. In this way, patients have no problems during the procedure.

The rigid or flexible endoscope is then placed in the desired area. Endoscopy can detect obstructions, as well as hidden nasal polyps that cannot be detected during routine examination and structural abnormalities that may cause recurrent sinusitis.

A New Method in the Treatment of Sinusitis: Balloon Synoplasty

In recent years, especially in the field of medical technology, in the surgical treatment of chronic sinusitis, while increasing the chances of success with less trauma, technology and devices have been introduced, which significantly reduce the risk of complications. One of the most important of these technological innovations is ‘balloon synoplasty’. Avcılar Hospital Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery Professor. Dr. Hakan Göçmen gave information about ‘balloon synoplasty’ technique. Sinuses are air-filled chambers in the face and head bones. On both sides of the face, there are four types of sinus cavities called maxillary, ethmoid, frontal and sphenoid sinuses. Normally, the nose and sinuses secrete about half a liter of mucus per day. The produced mucus sweeps and washes dust particles, bacteria and other airborne particles by acting on the nasal cover (mucosa). This mucus is then drained back into the throat and swallowed. Many people are unaware of the situation because it is a normal body function. The sinuses strengthen our sense of taste and smell, and also have tasks such as moistening the breathing air. Therefore, their inflammation prevents the full fulfillment of these functions. Each sinus cavity is connected to the nose by a hole. These connections must be open to perform their duties



What is Sinusitis?

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinus cavities. In case of a cold or cold, these openings are closed due to secretions and swelling. Sinusitis accumulates in the sinus, with the addition of microbes, we call acute sinusitis occurs. The complaints are mainly fullness, headache and nasal nasal discharge. Chronic sinusitis develops when the sinus openings are closed for a long time. In this case, headache is rare but discharge and nasal congestion persists. As a result of excessive inflammation called polyp formation may develop.

How is sinusitis diagnosed?

The diagnosis of sinusitis may require endoscopic nasal examination as well as paranasal sinus computed tomography and sinus film.



How is sinusitis treated?

In which situations surgical operation is required? Sinusitis is caused by obstruction of the sinus holes. Sinusitis also heals when these obstructed holes are opened. Clogged holes can be drilled in three kinds.

1. With drug treatment

2. With functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESC) and navigation FESC

3. With the help of balloon catheter, balloon synoplasty

Drug therapy is very effective in the early period. Surgery may be required in chronic sinusitis that do not respond to persistent drug treatment. Purpose of surgery; is to open the sinus paths. Thus, the aeration of the sinuses is provided. Infection regresses and disappears in the vented sinus. For the last 30 years, Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery has been a simple technique for the treatment of these diseases. FESC is a surgery called endoscope with thin instruments passing light and aiming to cause as little damage to the anatomical structure of the nose and sinuses as possible. Surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on your doctor's preference and you. The operation takes approximately half an hour to one and a half hours. The patient is discharged on the same day or the following day. Postoperatively, there is usually no need to put a tampon in the nose. The patient returns to normal daily life in 3-5 days.

Balloon Synoplasty

The principle of the technique called balloon synoplasty; It is to restore the sinus aeration and mucus evacuation function by expanding the obstructed or narrowed discharge channels of the sinuses using only balloons without cutting out the tissues in this region. In fact, the procedure is to apply the logic of balloon dilation of the occluded coronary vessels to the perforations of the sinuses.



How is balloon synoplasty performed?

Under general anesthesia, first the endoscope and catheter with the location of the narrow sinus mouth, then the catheter-guided balloon is sent to these channels, with the help of inflated balloon in this region is expanded and the inside of the sinus is washed. Balloons containing drug in resistant sinusitis cases have been developed in recent years.



FESC, navigated FESC and Balloon synoplasty, which is valid for the treatment of invasive sunusitis in our hospital, is successfully performed with more than 25 years of experience.

Can Balloon Synoplasty Be Applied to Every Sinusitis Patient?

Balloon Synoplasty is not suitable for every sinusitis patient. It is decided by a ENT specialist according to the characteristics of the patient. Your doctor will make a decision by examining your condition and tomography. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESC) or other methods should be preferred in cases with excessive polyps, fungal sinusitis and suspected tumor.



Can Balloon Synoplasty be Applied Simultaneously with Other Treatments?

Balloon Synoplasty can be performed with operations such as nasal nasal flesh and turbinate surgery. Sometimes, some sinus mouths of the same patient may be expanded with FESC and others with balloon. It can also be used in patients who have previously failed to intervene in their sinuses.



Is Balloon Synoplasty a Reliable Method?

Balloon Synoplasty is reliable in experienced hands, although other surgical procedures carry more or less risk.



How long does balloon synoplasty last?

It is a minimally invasive method. Although it is done in hospital, it does not require overnight stay. Although it varies from patient to patient, normal activities can be started on the same day.



Is there any age limitation in balloon synoplasty?

In order to apply this technique, it is sufficient to have a patient profile suitable for this treatment. As in all surgical cases, selective treatment should be performed at a young age. Sinus canals can be used safely at any age if intervention is required.

The highly narrowed mouth of the sinus and the green inflammatory fluid inside; catheter inserted into the sinus,

Balon The balloon in the catheter is inflated,

❍ Catheter removed; the inflamed fluid in the sinus is discharged and a proper opening remains in the mouth of the sinus.

What are the Advantages of Balloon Synoplasty?

Z Does not damage technical tissues. (Small, soft, elastic equipment is used, gently opening the closed sinus drainage channels is achieved with minimal tissue damage.) Therefore, bleeding, pain and pain is not much

Ihtimali The possibility of complications is low.

❍ Return of the surgery is positive, re-closure of the channels is not very common

❍ Fast recovery time; most patients may return to their daily life one day after the operation. ❍ The technique can be used in combination with other treatments.

MAXILLARY SINUS COLLECTIONS AS A RESULT OF MISCONDUCED CHANNEL TREATMENT IN THE UPPER JAW

While many dental treatments are successful, some may fail. Although it may be caused by dentists, the main reason for these failures is the patients. This is because patients behave as if they have fully recovered as soon as they leave the examination. Another reason is the upper jaw. Often we would like to point out that the treatments to be applied to the upper jaw are indeed a challenging period of examination for both patients and physicians. Especially the treatment of the upper jaw with blood is a really challenging process. For this reason, the maxillary sinus complications caused by improperly applied root canal treatment have been a very difficult process for patients and physicians.


If you ask what are the maxillary sinus complications caused by wrong canal treatment in the upper jaw, we will answer this question in this article. We would like to point out that sinuses, which are very close to molars and molars, are very important for physicians. For this reason, physicians behave very carefully and sensitively in the root canal treatments that will be applied by the big molar and small molar teeth. These maxillary sinus infections Sinus infections are also the most common and the most common pathological condition of infection. Maxillary sinus cavities, which are very close to the upper respiratory tract, are filled with fluid from birth and descend to a level close to the upper jaw at the age of eight years.


Therefore, the upper jaw structure is very careful when applying dental treatment. Maxillary sinus complications caused by incorrectly applied canal treatment in the upper jaw are listed as follows. Infections of the upper respiratory tract as well as odontogenic diseases. Also included are reduced cilia activity due to tobacco use or air pollution. Allergic causes and specific infectious diseases will surely prevent you from paced swim and diving into overhead water. In order to avoid this discomfort that will have such consequences, you should definitely not rush to the upper jaw treatments and trust your physician.

Pilonidal Sinus And Its Treatment

Pilonidal sinus disease is mainly the cavity or abscess tissue with hair. It most often settles on the coccyx. There are two theories of development.

Plonidal sinus and hair treatment

Pilonidal sinus disease is mainly the cavity or abscess tissue with hair. It most often settles on the coccyx.
There are two theories of development.
1. Congenital theory: In this theory, it is assumed that while in the womb (fetus), subcutaneous tissues develop as a dermal cyst residue due to incomplete joining of the midline
2. Acquired theory: It is assumed that the free hair enters the skin by being stuck in the skin, infection under the skin, the development of abscesses and the opening of the abscess to the pilonidal sinus. Today, acquired theory is more widely accepted.

Risk factors:

The body is hairy and the amount of hair loss
Narrow and deep hips
Skin remains moist and masere
Crack or scar texture in the region
Sitting for a long time
Poor hygiene is the most important risk factor.
The most common finding is that there is one or more small holes (sinus mouth) on the coccyx 3-5 cm above the anus.

Complaints:

Unless infected, there may be no complaints other than pink discharge from the holes.
Infection and abscesses may develop within the underlying sinus. In this case, sudden onset of red, hot, delicate swelling occurs and continuous throbbing style pain occurs. After this period, the swelling may spontaneously discharge with a malodorous yellow discharge or may be evacuated by local surgical intervention. If permanent intervention is not performed after the abscess has been evacuated, abscess attacks may recur.

TREATMENT:

There is no need for additional treatment, except for recommendations, in a small, uncomplicated disease that has no symptoms, no complaints, no abscess attacks.
If an abscess occurs
The abscess is drained. After evacuation, the disease recurs 30-50%. In order to reduce the risk of recurrence, crystalline phenol may be applied together with the discharge process. However, it is not always a preferred procedure since it may increase the risk of abscess formation in the abscess tissue.
Crystalline phenol treatment, known as non-surgical method, or surgical methods should be applied in chronic pilonidal disease causing leaks.
Application of Crystallized Phenol: In this method, after the anesthesia is anesthetized with local anesthesia, the hairs and epithelial tissue are cleaned by entering the sinus mouth with a thin instrument without any additional incision. Crystalline phenol is then introduced into the sinus to accelerate healing. Since this method is applied with local anesthesia and no additional incision is made, it affects the daily life of the patient very little. The chance of success is 80-90%, the risk of recurrence is 5% and it is close to surgical treatment.

Surgical Methods
Cystotomy: The sinus ceiling is opened, the inside is cleaned and cureted and allowed to heal. Healing takes 4-6 weeks and the risk of recurrence is 5-19%.
Bascom Surgery: Similar to cystotomy. Not only the incision is made from the side of the cyst.
Complete removal of the pilonidal sinus: After removal:

Spontaneous healing can be expected by leaving the wound open. The risk of relapse is moderately low (1-6%) but recovery is long-lasting.
The wound can be closed directly. The recovery is partially rapid but the risk of recurrence is high (16-22%).
Flap methods (Karydakis, Limberg, Dufourmental flap, Z plasty): Various flap methods can be used at the wound site that cannot be mutually sutured without direct tension. The risk of recurrence is lower. In most cases the incision will be larger and the scar is larger.
The most annoying point after pilonidal disease treatment is the risk of recurrence. To reduce the risk of recurrence
The coccyx (at least 3-4 cm radius of the sinus) should be removed from the hair
Shower daily (cotton and hairs removed)
Treatment method is surgical application
Scar tissue should not be in the midline
The wound should heal without being infected
Tissue should be closed without tension during surgery
There should be no dead spaces in the middle line.

What is the balloon method in sinusitis and how is it applied?

Sinusitis, one of the most common diseases of today, how to treat, how to protect ourselves from being sinusitis, what are the symptoms of sinusitis? Ear Nose Throat Specialist Dr. Ismail Kocak answered questions about sinusitis.

What is Sinusitis? Where does it occur?

The air gaps around the nasal cavity within our head bones are defined as ‘sinuses.. The air enters the sinus through the nasal cavity. Every time we breathe, the air through the nose reaches the sinuses through small openings. Obstruction of these openings is the main source of sinus infections. There are 4 pairs of sinus cavities. Frontal (forehead), maxillary (cheek), ethmoid (eye edge) and sphenoid (posterior) sinuses. Sinusitis is an inflammation of these air gaps. Viruses, bacteria and fungi cause inflammation in these cavities.

What Causes Sinusitis?

The most common cause is viruses that cause colds. These viruses affect the mucosa lining the intranasal and sinus. After the injection of the virus, the bacteria cause the continuation of sinusitis. Fungal sinusitis is rare. Such infections are short-lived and easily heal. Short-term infections are called sin acute sinusitis.. If sinusitis lasts for a long time, the main problem is whether the air passage doors of the sinuses are structurally or congenitally narrow or closed. In this case, infections last long and are defined as ‘chronic sinusitis..

What Causes Sinusitis?

Decreases in the immune system pave the way for sinusitis. For example, people with a severe flu, organ failure and diabetes suffer from frequent and long sinusitis. Other problems that occur in this include, for example, allergies, nasal impurities in children, nasal flesh, and causes of sinusitis.

Are there drugs that cause sinusitis?

Mucosal constituent, diuretic and some blood pressure drugs prepare the ground for sinusitis.

How is it diagnosed?

The clinical examination of the physician makes the diagnosis. Diagnostic tests are made by intranasal endoscopic examination, sinus x-ray, tomography, culture and odor perception tests.

How is it treated?

Antibiotics are used for bacterial infections and antimycotic treatment for fungal infections. It is important that this remains open until the infection has passed. Therefore, drugs that increase nasal air flow, which are defined as decongestants, are preferred. They are used both as a nasal spray and as a tablet. It is recommended to use cleansing spray and drops that increase the habit of the outbreak in it. Antihistaminic drugs are also added in cases of allergy.

When is surgery necessary?

In chronic structural sinusitis, surgical treatment comes to the forefront when medication is not useful. In the technique called oskop endoscopic sinus surgery tık, the clicked channels of the sinuses are expanded or opened. This is done with laser, balloon and standard instruments. Since the procedures are performed with an endoscope, they are not visible from the outside and do not leave marks or swelling on the face.

How long does the treatment last?

Medical treatment can last from 7 to 21 days. The duration depends on the severity of the infection and the process of its formation. Surgical treatment is completed with a self-healing process after 1 week of care. The transition to normal life after surgical procedures is very short. Especially in laser and balloon sinus surgery, people can continue their normal life on the same day.

What is Balloon Sinus Surgery?

It is the process of expanding the sinus canals with balloons. It is now used safely in all sinus interventions. With the endoscope the problematic sinus is detected by means of a guide wire. The balloon on the guide wire is then inflated in the channel. This extends the sinus canal. There is no bleeding, pain or tampon during and after the procedure.

Recommendations for non-recurrence of sinusitis:

• The best thing is to avoid infection. For this purpose, avoid closed environments during periods of infection. In open and clean air environments.
• Air-conditioned and cold environments trigger sinusitis. Start treatment with decongestion (the drug used to relieve nasal congestion), even if you have a mild upper respiratory infection. Stay away from flights.
• Sweaty sweaty water to drink, head cold, such as going out of hatless situations are not far from close to sinusitis. Be careful though.
• Nasal congestion
• Headache
• Facial pain
• Feeling of fullness in the face and head
• Runny nose
• Postnasal drip
• Odor disturbance
• Distortion in sound quality

How does sinusitis go?

How does sinusitis go? How is sinusitis evacuated? What is the treatment of sinusitis? What is Sinus Rinse Kit? Find out more about sinusitis treatment.

sinusitis remedy is sinus rinse kit
I started cleaning once a day in the past years nowadays with 2-3 times a day I continue. I emptied the right side for the winter period but left very solidified. The left side of the neglect has become a burgundy berets. I haven't figured it out yet. my work in progress.


"sinus rinse kit" instruction manual for beginners
- Hold your head at a 45-degree angle when operating.
Don't forget to open your mouth.
- if you are squeezing through your right nostril, tilt the water in the kit to your left shoulder. The angle of your head should be this way for easy water outflow.
- Do not squeeze too pressurized rustling occurs in your ears.
- Stop cleaning where your ears rustle.
- always use hot water as long as you can. Remember, it is the temperature of the water, not pressurized, which removes the burgundy bruised mucus.


Recognize mucus
- if the mucus coming out of the nose is in a dark green-blooded state, you have long-standing sinuses. we call them burgundy berets. If you can remove it from there you can celebrate your success.

- dark green, but not bloody mucus are the mucus that shows that it has been scattered throughout the seasons.

- If you are cleaning light green mucus, you are removing mucus after the cold last month.

- if white transparent mucus emerges, it is the mucus that is newly formed as a result of washing your head out of your nose yesterday or this morning, but crushing the snake's head when it is small. it is your happiness that you do not allow it to settle there and cause serious headaches.

- if you no longer have mucus during cleaning, you have drained the sinuses. you can enjoy the breath you feel in your brain, you can do the haka dance around by burning the magical in your hand.

Important notes
- if you have chronic sinusitis, do not stop treatment completely when mucus does not come. even if you don't eat cold, your sinuses will continue to make white transparent colored mucus. Do the sinus kit every day and don't let your mucus turn into a burgundy bruise.

- Do not undergo surgery if you have chronic sinusitis and do not have a malfunction that prevents flow of mucus in your nose. chronic sinusitis is not a surgical disease.

- you can go to the baths with steam rooms, ask the attendant at a time when customers are sparsely, throw dry daisies in the steam machine, and make your burgundy beret mucus with pokemon for 20-30 minutes. then there is no need to kite or something, they surrender.

you can cope with sinusitis without medication; my experience-tested methods
1) Eat mint, cloves, arugula; helps to open the nose. but more importantly eat plenty of garlic and onions. throw an outer garlic in your mouth and chew slowly. keep your mouth lit. then don't kiss anyone for a while. after garlic and mint and clove, it may be wiser to eat (in order to maintain your social presence).

2) Clean your nose every few days (or once a week, depending on the situation) with neti pot. When using the neti pot, use rock or sea salt with clean, filtered water. Never use iodized table salt.

3) Do not smoke, do not expose yourself to air pollution. if you live in a big city with car exhausts, move. we come to life once, nothing is more important than health.

4) open or open the window at night. summer and winter need constant fresh air does not matter. While the night is lying in the winter albeit a bit of a mosque. Do not forget to wear an extra two layers alone. Keep in mind that cold air carries more oxygen per unit volume.

5) Wear a hat and beanie when the weather begins to cool. This September comes in many places. Keeping your head warm is very, very important.

When does sinusitis require surgery?

Sinusitis caused by inflammation of the sinus canals is increasing especially in autumn and winter months. When sinusitis, which is usually treated with drugs, becomes chronic, surgical intervention may be required.

Sinuses, bone blanks that settle into the bones of the head and open the canals into the nose. In addition to providing the timbre and sound of the sound, they help the air passing through the nose to approach the body temperature, reduce the weight of the head because it is full of air, and help the head to stand upright.

Sinusitis inflammation of the sinus canals problem also begins. ENT Specialist Op. Dr. Koray Cengiz, the most important factors affecting the formation of sinusitis; The immune system and the associated upper respiratory tract infections, nose and sinus anatomy (the size of the nasal flesh or cartilage of the nose, the size of the nasal flesh or the closed sinus canals, nasal and sinus tumors), especially in children, the size of nasal flesh, cold and dirty air, counts as .

WHICH SYMPTOMS ARE SINUSIT?

The majority of fever persists for more than a week is indicative of sinusitis.
In adults, nasal congestion, yellow-green nose and nasal discharge, face-tooth-eye pain and cough are the most common symptoms.
Children may have restlessness, persistent cough and vomiting due to nasal discharge.
Partially less common symptoms in all age groups are; fever, fatigue, bad breath, decreased sense of smell, sore throat, sometimes hoarseness.
Painful swelling of the forehead and eye, diplopia and general condition disorder during the continuation of the discomfort are among the symptoms of sinusitis.

İN SINUSITIS IS A TREATABLE DISEASE ”

Colds, colds, the condition lasts more than 10 days, Dr. necessarily emphasizes the need to consult a doctor. Cengiz said, “Sinusitis is not an incurable disease as many people think. Especially in chronic sinusitis, the most important issue is the elimination of the main cause of sinusitis. In acute sinusitis, medication is administered with antibiotics, nasal drops and anti-allergy drugs for up to three weeks. However, if there are causes such as obstruction of the airways, nasal flesh growth, curvature of the nasal bone and cartilage, and allergies, the elimination of these causes after treatment will prevent sinusitis to become a chronic disease. ”

When is chronous sinusitis mentioned?

Cengiz said that the cause of the complaints lasting more than 12 weeks may be chronic sinusitis and tells the following about chronic sinusitis:


If you have sore throat,
If your nose is dry and crusted,
If you take care of your oral and dental health, but you have bad breath problems,
If you snore at night,
If you have nasal congestion,
If you can't smell it,
If you've been constantly tired lately,
If you cough dry,
If your voice starts to change,
If you have a nasal discharge,
If there is a feeling of discomfort in your throat,
It is recommended to see a doctor for upper respiratory tract complaints lasting more than three weeks.

If you survive winter infections for more than 10 days; If your illnesses recur at short intervals and most importantly, if you have had these complaints for more than 3 months, you may have chronic sinusitis. ”

How is sinusitis treated?

When sinusitis is not treated correctly, it may cause serious diseases such as chronic pharyngitis, chronic gastritis, reflux, around the eye and infection, abscesses, meningitis and brain abscess. The diagnosis of sinusitis is made by otorhinolaryngologic examination and endoscopic examination, direct radiography and sinus tomography. In the disease classified as ut Acute ”,“ Subacute ”and ronik Chronic;; acute sinusitis lasts about 4 weeks. It goes by drug treatment or spontaneously. Subacute sinusitis is a transitional phase. Acute sinusitis did not heal at this stage; however, chronic sinusitis is not fully established. Chronic sinusitis lasts more than 3 months. First, antibiotic treatment is applied.

Non-surgical Sinusitis Treatment

Make Sinusitis Treatment Without Surgery
Sinusitis, known as sinus inflammation, is an important health problem affecting the lives of almost 20 million people in our country. There are different ways to solve this problem that seriously affects people's daily work and quality of life. Non-surgical sinusitis treatment is now preferred by patients as well as by surgical treatments.

What is the problem of sinusitis?
Sinusitis is the name given to the gaps between the nose and the bones around the eyes. The problem that arises as a result of inflammation in the cavities is called sinusitis. There are two main types of disease; acute and chronic. In general, acute sinusitis problems; green, yellow or bloody runny nose, bad breath, nasal congestion, tooth pain, such as problems are not seen. The other is chronic; problems such as runny nose, severe nasal discharge, cough. Sinusitis patients, which affect rapidly as a result of changes in weather conditions, have serious problems in their daily lives. Many of the patients who want to solve these problems now want to save themselves from this disease with non-surgical sinusitis treatment.

How is sinusitis treated without surgery?
Patients with sinusitis have two options to get rid of these problems; The first of these is to recover from the problem with deep interventions that are surgical. Another option is non-surgical sinusitis treatment. Balloon sinusoplasty is the method used for the treatment of non-surgical sinusitis, one of these procedures performed by specialist doctors. The application of this method; firstly, a series of bubbles begin by sending the patient through the nose to the sinuses. At this stage, the location of the closed sinuses is determined with the help of the camera. Bubbles are placed at the detected closed points. Then, air is sent through these bubbles to open closed sinuses. As a result of the procedure, the patient's problem is eliminated.

What can be done after treatment?
After a successful operation, patients should be more careful than their previous periods. Patients taking measures against clean-kept nose and air changes lead a more comfortable life after treatment. Patients are mostly satisfied with the operations performed. This treatment, which is preferred more than the surgical method, enables patients to continue their lives in a peaceful way with a short-term intervention.

Stating that sinusitis can cause great dangers can not be emphasized Avrasya Hospital K.B.B Specialist Op. Dr. Ferhat Oğuz,
gave information about the disease.

What is Sinusitis? : The bones around the nose and eyes are called sinuses. After frequent upper respiratory tract infection, sinusitis occurs as a result of inflammation of the mucosa covering the sinus cavities. Edema occurs in the mouth of the sinuses and the sinuses are blocked.

Sinusitis occurs in two ways: acute sinusitis and chronic sinusitis; Acute sinusitis usually occurs as a result of a cold, short-term antibiotic therapy ends with the patient's complaints. Chronic sinusitis lasts for more than 3 months, with nasal discharge, headache and established nasal obstruction. Surgical intervention may be required in cases where chronic sinusitis does not respond to medication.

What are the symptoms of sinusitis? The most important symptoms of sinusitis are seen in the form of the following substances as a result of the flu.

Acute sinusitis can usually be treated with medication. In chronic sinusitis resistant to drug treatment, surgical intervention is necessary. Sinusitis, which responds very quickly to medical and surgical treatment, can cause serious diseases such as brain abscess, meningitis and blindness when not treated correctly.

Should there be sinusitis surgery? : Despite long drug treatments, if sinusitis recurs frequently, if there is severe inflammation in the sinuses, surgical intervention is brought to the agenda if the social life of the patient is affected and quality of life decreases. The primary goal of surgery is to eliminate the factors that cause sinusitis. The inflammation in the sinuses is cleared and the patient returns to daily life with endoscopic sinus surgery.

Causes of sinusitis: Sinusitis is usually caused by inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. Infected dental or fungal infections may also cause sinusitis. Some factors that cause chronicity of sinusitis can be listed as follows;
- Smoking

ENDOSCOPIC SINUS SURGERY (ESC)

What is Endoscope and Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESC)?

The endoscope is an instrument with light and optical lenses at the end, allowing you to see the image directly from one end to the other. Endoscopes of different thickness and length are used in many branches such as ENT, Gastroenterology, Urology, Orthopedics, General Surgery, Gynecology and Thoracic Surgery. In ENT, 4 mm and 2.7 mm diameter endoscopes are generally used. There are endoscopes with 0º, 30º, 45º, 70º, 90º and 120º angles depending on the placement of the lens at the end of the endoscope. Endoscopes provide a clear view of dark cavities, normal anatomical structures and pathological tissues that we cannot see directly in the nose. Endoscopes are combined with a camera system, the image is simultaneously transferred to the computer and monitor. Images can be enlarged and recorded in HD quality when necessary. Endoscopic sinus surgery using endoscopes for the sinuses around the nose is called surgery. It has been widely applied all over the world and in our country for many years.

When are Endoscopy and ESC Applied?

Endoscopes are used in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of many diseases of the nose, sinus and their neighbors. These; has been widely applied all over the world and in our country for many years.

Endoscopes are used in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of many diseases of the nose, sinus and their neighbors. These;
. Chronic Sinusitis (Unresponsive to medication)
. Recurrent Sinusitis
. Nazal Polip
. Antrochoanal Polyp
. Concha Reduction (Nasal meats reduction)
. Sinus Mucocele
. Nasal and Sinus Tumors
. Brain-Spinal Fluid Leakage (Cerebrospinal Rhinorrhea)
. Orbital Decompression (Recovering from oppression in thyroid ophthalmopathy)
. Optic Nerve Decompression
. Dacryocystorhinostomy (Opening of the obstructed tear duct)
. Koanal Atresia Repair
. Removal of Foreign Bodies in the Nose
. Nose Bleeding Control
. Pituitary Gland Tumors
. Skull Base Surgery
. Septal Crest (Endoscopic Septoplasty)
. Eustachian Tube Problems

What are the advantages?

Endoscopes can be performed completely through the nose without any incision in the nose and face. In addition, endoscopes can be reached more easily in areas that we cannot reach or do not see well by classical methods. It provides surgical intervention only for diseased tissues without damaging healthy tissues. Endoscopic surgery reduces the risk of complications and shortens the recovery time.

How To?

Operation; general anesthesia, local anesthesia or sedation can be performed without a complete anesthesia. The duration, scope, risks and preference of the patient is important in the selection of anesthesia. For example, in case of generalized nasal polyp or tumor, general anesthesia is applied, while nasal foreign body or septal crest can be treated with local anesthesia. Before the operation, an anesthesiologist's examination and some tests are used to determine whether there is an obstacle or risky condition. Before the operation, the patient's sinus tomography is taken and suppressed and hung in the operating room where the surgeon can see at any time. If necessary, tomography is performed during surgery to check our position in the nose and to avoid complications. In the operation, the endoscope is entered through the nostril and the necessary procedures are performed by seeing the tissues directly with the sensitive instruments developed for endoscopic surgery. The scope of the procedure depends on the disease and its extent. For example in chronic sinusitis; clogged sinus canals are opened, diseased tissues are cleaned without damaging intact tissues. In the nasal polyp; All polyp tissues that fill the nose and sinuses are cleaned without touching the healthy mucosa. In tumors, tumor tissue is removed with some intact tissue. Duration of surgery varies according to scope. For example, surgery for chronic sinusitis lasts approximately 1.5 hours. In endoscopic surgery, systems other than classical instruments can be used to shorten the duration of the surgery and increase the safety. Of them;

In microdebrider system; the tissues are shaved on the one hand and vacuum removed on the one hand. It is frequently used especially in common nasal polyps because it reduces both the operative time and the bleeding.

Surgical Navigation (Image Guidet Surgery); We can think of it as a navigation device used in vehicles. Just as the navigation device shows where we are constantly, we can see the location of the surgical instruments used in the nose in endoscopic sinus surgery in three dimensions. Electromagnetic and optical (infrared) system, there are two systems. In surgical navigation system; Before the operation, the patient's sinus tomography (to be more than 1 mm sensitive) is taken and loaded into the system, a special cap is placed on the patient's head during the operation. This allows us to monitor the position of our surgical instruments more accurately than 1 mm on the monitor during surgery. The most important advantage of surgical navigation is to reduce the risk of damaging these structures while cleaning diseased tissues close to the skull base and brain, eye and visual nerve, and large vessels, and therefore reducing serious complications. Surgical navigation is not required in routine endoscopic sinus surgery. Personal surgical navigation; I use it when necessary for recurrent nasal polyps, skull base and near the eye sinus tumors, repair of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, optic nerve decompression, and pituitary surgery (with brain surgery). The disadvantage of surgical navigation is that it prolongs the time and increases the cost due to preoperative preparation.

What happens after the recovery and what should be considered?

There may be slight pain after the operation and can be easily relieved with painkillers. In endoscopic surgery, there is no change in nose shape, swelling or bruising. At the end of the operation, self-melting pads are placed on the operation site and the nostrils remain open. However, if one or more procedures such as rhinoplasty (nasal esthetics), septoplasty (deviation surgery) and turbinate surgery are performed together with endoscopic surgery, flexible pads made of soft silicone are put into the nose (doyle splint). The middle of these pads are tubular, and if they are not obstructed by dried slime or clot, they can be breathed through the nose while buffered. If only septoplasty has been performed, tampons are removed after 2-3 days, if interventions to the nasal flesh (turbinate surgery) or if performed with nasal esthetics. Removal takes 10-15 seconds and is painless. You can stay in hospital for 1 day according to your follow-up. There may be bleeding from the nose for 1-2 days after the operation, the next few days mixed with slimy currents, followed by crusting in the nose. Depending on the scope of the operation, it may take 2-6 weeks. These shells can be cleaned by softening with saline. Frequent control and intranasal dressings in this process are crucial for a healthy recovery. Resting 7-10 days postoperatively is recommended. However, if you do a job that does not require effort and did not experience any postoperative problems, you can work after the 5th day, you can travel.

What are the results?

The results of endoscopic surgery vary according to the disease. Success in chronic or recurrent sinusitis is between 80-90%. Nasal polyps tend to recur, only 20-30% in polyps and 70% in polyp + asthma + aspirin allergy (sampter syndrome). Repetition time varies from person to person. In some patients, polyps may recur within 6 months after surgery, while in others it may recur after 5 years. The mean success rate of antrochoanal polyp is 95%. In addition to the disease, the experience of the surgeon is very important.

What Complications Can Be Seen?

The nose and its surrounding sinuses are anatomically adjacent to the eye and tear canal on the sides, the brain membrane and brain tissue on the ceiling, the carotid artery leading to the brain and the optic nerve leading to the eye. Because of these neighborhoods, there is a possibility of damage in endoscopic sinus surgery. The complications are divided into major and minor according to their severity. The probability of complications varies depending on the extent of the disease and the experience of the surgeon.

Major Complications:

. Orbital hematoma (accumulation of blood in the eyeball), Optic nerve (visual nerve) damage; loss of vision and blindness

. Damage to the eye muscles; Double sight

. Tear drainage due to tear duct damage (Epifora)

. Damage to the brain or brain tissue; Cerebrospinal fluid leakage (CSF fistula) (the most common major complication), Meningitis, Brain abscess, Cerebral hemorrhage, Air leakage into the brain (Pneumocephalus)

. Major vascular injury and bleeding

Minor Complications:

. Edema around the eyes, bruising, air leak

. adhesions; most common minor complication

. Nose bleeding

. Odor loss

. Infection

What is balloon synuplasty and when is it applied?

Balloon synuplasty is the procedure of opening narrowed sinus canals with the help of a catheter like balloon angioplasty applied to open the vascular occlusions. The balloon at the end of the catheter is placed in the sinus canal and inflated to expand the canal and allow the sinuses to drain. The procedure can be performed endoscopically with general or local anesthesia. However, general anesthesia is preferred. It can be combined with traditional endoscopic sinus surgery techniques. It can be applied in chronic sinusitis affecting the frontal (forehead), maxillary (cheek) and sphenoid (skull base) sinuses. There is no activity interaction in polyps or other diseases affecting the sinuses. After the procedure there is not much bleeding, you can go home on the same day and return to work the next day. Crusting, which occurs after endoscopic sinus surgery and lasts for several weeks, does not occur in this application. The disadvantage of balloon sinuplasty is that it can be applied only to certain sinuses and sinusitis cases and it brings additional cost. I personally prefer this method for isolated frontal sinusitis that does not respond to medication.

Sinusitis Surgery

Patients whose sinuses are very often inflamed and who do not improve despite repeated and long-term treatments are candidates for sinusitis surgery. It should be emphasized that everyone who has previously been referred to as sin you have sinusitis medi does not require surgery. On the other hand, there is no need to rush the decision of sinusitis surgery, except in some rare complicated situations. Some treatments that may be applied before may solve the sinusitis without surgery, and may reduce the scope and risks of the surgery that may be necessary. In the sinusitis, it is very important for the physician to control the patient's clinic in every aspect in order to make the decision of surgery. It may be misleading to decide whether to perform sinusitis surgery with only one film or one examination. However, if a surgical decision is made based on the correct diagnosis and follow-up, a sinusitis surgery performed with the right technique will yield positive results.
Sinusitis may not be typical symptoms in all patients. Sometimes nasal discharge may be the only complaint. However, in the inflamed period, usually yellow-green nose and nasal discharge, as well as nasal congestion, headache and face pain can be. In our endoscopic examination, we can diagnose intranasal causes that may lead to sinusitis. The thin endoscopes we use show the areas where the sinus canals are opened and the disorders that prevent them. In sinusitis patients who do not benefit from sinusitis treatment over and over again, we map the nose and sinuses with computed tomography and make an operation plan accordingly. Sinusitis surgery for the treatment of sinusitis is a very technical issue; requires endoscopic experience, sinus knowledge and precise study. When sinusitis surgery is performed accordingly, if the patient does not have a genetic / hereditary disorder, the sinusitis of the patient is negligible.

When should sinusitis be operated?
Sinusitis surgery may be necessary when sinusitis cannot be treated with drugs. If there is no complication due to sinusitis, sinusitis surgery is not performed in the acute inflammatory period. Sinusitis surgery should be performed in the most healthy period when mucosa cover subsides, blood circulation decreases. In this period, the risk of bleeding decreases in sinusitis surgeries and a larger and cleaner working area is provided by decreasing swelling. In this way, the success of sinusitis surgery increases. The most accurate time in patients with polyp sinusitis is the time when the polyps are reversed as much as possible with cortisone drugs and sprays.

How is sinusitis surgery performed?
Sinusitis surgery is a very sensitive and technical surgery. The bones that make up the sinus cavities and canals are almost paper-thin. Endoscopic sinusitis surgery means cleaning these wispy tissues to restore the functioning of the sinuses. It is a technical operation with very sensitive tools under endoscopic vision. Thin tools for shaving tissues called Shaver, Holmium Yag laser for shrinking turbans, and navigation systems for advanced skull base interventions are technological requirements that can be applied during sinusitis surgery. However, experience and current sinus knowledge are essential in the selection of the vehicle and the operation; the risk of endoscopic sinusitis surgery performed in this way is negligible and its success is high. Sinusitis surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The duration varies from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on the variety of sinuses to be studied. At the end of the surgery, small spongy or fusible pads that we prefer today are placed. These are comfortable applications for the patient. Usually, the patient spends the night in the hospital and is discharged the next day. One week-2 months postoperatively, the patient should come to the dressings and controls regularly.

Does it recur after sinusitis surgery?
Today, unfortunately, the question most patients ask: Does it recur after sinusitis surgery? It is a highly successful operation if the sinusitis is correctly diagnosed, performed in the appropriate period, if the correct techniques and tools are used during the operation, and finally performed in the right hands working intensively on sinusitis. Sinusitis by opening the sinus channels, regulating the secretion flow paths, the removal of secretion vicious cycles is extremely low probability of recurrence. In the long term, these patients do not normally suffer from more than one sinusitis attack per year, which is normally seen in everyone. The only exception is the possibility of recurrence of polyp sinusitis. Sinusitis surgery of patients with nasal polyposis is performed to ensure that the sprays reach the areas with polyps. In patients with polyps, it is possible to control the disease with proper sinusitis surgery and regular follow-up.

What should be considered after sinusitis surgery?
After sinusitis surgery, the patient should rest and not accept many visitors. It should lie in the early period with a slight (20 degrees) orientation. It is enough to spend the night in the hospital and can be discharged the next morning. After discharge, there is no need to go to bed, but it is necessary to avoid any effort that requires heavy lifting and climbing stairs. Because they can increase blood pressure and cause leaks. For the same reason, the patient should not blow and bend. Antibiotics may be used as a preservative to prevent inflammation at the site of operation. Pain usually does not occur, and if it happens, it is often a blunt, insidious pain attached to the tampon, and simple painkillers containing paracetamol are often sufficient. Salt water sprays can also be used to relieve and clean the nose. The patient should never smoke or be exposed to smoke. We prefer to check the patient on the 3rd, 7th and 14th days postoperatively and to follow the first two months. We can adapt a follow-up program for our patients coming from abroad according to the type of sinusitis.

WHAT CAUSES NOSE CONGENATION?

Breathing through the nose is vital for every organ from our brain to our heart, from our hair to our toenails. Not being able to breathe comfortably is a condition that causes headache, tired exhaustion in the morning, waking up in the morning, causing tendency to sleep during the day and chronic fatigue.

It is considered normal that both nostrils are blocked and opened at regular intervals during the day. But the constant nasal congestion points to the problems that need to be solved.

Nasal obstruction due to upper respiratory tract infections, chronic smoking, bad weather, or short-term allergic problems. In these cases, the solution is mostly simple methods such as nasal sprays, allergy medicines, using salted bicarbonate water and swimming in the sea.

Prolonged nasal obstruction is usually caused by the curvature of the nasal mast (deviation), the size of the nasal flesh (Konka), the growth of nasal flesh, nasal polyps (which may be caused by allergies or sinusitis), chronic sinusitis. Long-term allergic rhinitis (rhinitis) may be another cause of chronic nasal congestion. Non-allergies are usually problems that can be solved by simple short operations.

The most common causes of nasal congestion in children are allergic problems and the presence of nasal flesh. The solution is to treat allergy and remove nasal flesh.

WHEN DOES A CLOSED NOSE THREAT OUR HEALTH?

We see that heart and lung problems increase when nasal obstruction persists for many years. We know that chronic upper respiratory tract obstructions can cause snoring, breathing stops during sleep, blood pressure problems, rhythm disturbances, asthma enhancing effects, sexual dysfunctions, heart attacks and brain hemorrhage.

The point that makes the nose so important for the health of all our organs is that it is the organ that transports oxygen, which is the basic substance for the survival of our cells, to our body in a healthy way.

In situations where the nose is always clogged, we may encounter the problems we just mentioned in a period of our lives.

Nasal obstructions that cannot be treated for a long time threaten our health. We have to solve this problem both with medication and surgery.

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST COMPLAINTS OF PATIENTS?

Nasal congestion, inability to breathe through the nose, headache, snoring or tired exhaustion in the morning, runny nose, runny nose, decrease in work performance during the day, chronic fatigue are the main complaints.

WHICH HEALTH PROBLEMS CAN CAUSE?

Frequent recurrent throat infections and involuntary pharyngitis may occur as a result of continuous mouth breathing.
Snoring and sleep disorders develop.
As a result of breathing stops during sleep, blood pressure and heart rhythm disorder may develop.
Patients with asthma have increased problems.
Morning dry mouth develops.
Sexual dysfunction occurs.
Tendency to the development of psychological problems. These patients complain that they are particularly irritable.
The sound quality deteriorates and nasal speech develops.
Children may have sweating at the neck and sometimes wetting the neck at night
Chronic fatigue syndrome may develop
It can trigger migraine and cause chronic headache problems.

WHICH METHODS ARE APPLIED FOR A COMFORTABLE BREATH?

Primarily, drug treatment tries to eliminate chronic sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, nasal flesh growth problems and eliminate nasal congestion. If there is no improvement, the operation can be applied.

WHEN IS THE CONDITION, WHEN THE DECISION IS DECIDED? HOW IS AN OPERATION APPLIED FOR CONGULATION?
If we cannot solve the nasal congestion due to nasal flesh growth despite drug treatment, we reduce the nasal flesh with radio frequency or laser and open the airway. In cases that do not respond to drug treatment in chronic sinusitis occlusions, balloon, laser, and endoscopic navigation operations can be used to treat sinusitis.

Drug treatment in nasal congestion cases with cartilage inclinations, which we call nose deviation, is unfortunately not working and we can perform endoscopic or classical methods of surgery to open the airway.

Nasal deviation operations have changed considerably compared to the previous ones. In the past, these operations were performed under local anesthesia and were known as painful operations. Very rough instruments were used during surgery. Post-operative tampons were diaper tampons and caused pain when removed. Patients had to stay in the hospital for a few days after the operation.

Today, our operations have become painless operations by taking advantage of the superior comfort of general anesthesia. Now, these operations have taken the form of endoscopic septoplasty using micro instruments under the guidance of endoscopy and have been followed by computer screen and become simple operations with cameras.

When you look at the mirror in the evening after this operation, there is no problem with the appearance of stitching, bruising, shape change, gypsum swelling or blood sitting on the face. So you can see exactly what the face is before the operation and then the same. Bruising is done by breaking because the swelling gypsum stitching happens in aesthetic operation. Although the rhinoplasty operation can be performed without bruising without breaking with the ultrasonic device.

Patients who are discharged on the same day after the operation can continue their work within a few days.

These comfort and painless operation techniques provided by the technology may please physicians more than patients.

Good news for those with chronic sinusitis!

If sinusitis becomes chronic due to difficulty in breathing due to nasal obstruction, permanent treatment can only be possible with surgical application.

If sinusitis becomes chronic due to difficulty in breathing due to nasal obstruction, permanent treatment can only be possible with surgical application.

Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Doctor Dr. Dr. Ali Altuntaş, sinuses in the face and head bones, the inner surface of a thin tissue that can secrete covered and normally filled with air, he said.

The condition of inflammation of the sinus covering tissue is defined as "sinusitis", Altuntaş said, noting that this condition may become chronic if not treated. Altuntaş emphasized that the failure of the patient to heal for three months despite treatment means that sinusitis has become chronic.

Altuntaş, sinusitis, nasal congestion, nasal or nasal discharge, pain or pressure on the face and a sense of smell is manifested by a decrease in the symptoms, the slow course of these symptoms may be overlooked because of the disease, he said.

Underlining the need to use antibiotics several times a year due to sinusitis or at least two symptoms should be consulted, Altuntaş pointed out that chronic sinusitis may cause long-term cough or bad breath in children and persistent fatigue in adults.

Altuntaş, sinusitis, deterioration of the quality of life of the person, because the nose is not enough oxygen can not get enough sleep disturbance and insufficient sleep affects the health of the person stressed. Not enough oxygen intake can lead to serious complications from the brain to the heart that express Altuntaş, therefore reportedly must be treated.

Asthma can accompany chronic sinusitis

Professor Dr. Known risk factors for chronic sinusitis include seasonal or year-round allergies, exposure to cigarette smoke or environmental toxins, and virus infections, Altuntaş said.

The disease, the internal structure of the nose and sinuses originating from the abnormalities such as discharge or polyps that are diagnosed with the camera is expressed by the endoscopy method expressed Altuntaş, said:

"Computed tomography of the sinuses can also be performed. Tomography is a fast and safe procedure that takes several minutes, and the resulting cross-sectional radiological images provide valuable information about the structure and content of your sinuses.

Diagnosis of diseases such as asthma and aspirin intolerance associated with chronic sinusitis is also important in the correct treatment of the disease. These additional diseases should also be evaluated by a chest specialist.

The approaches used in the treatment of chronic sinusitis may vary according to the patient and may include multiple drug treatments. "

Altuntaş said that surgery is the case in cases of resistant chronic sinusitis where symptoms persist despite appropriate medical treatment, in cases where there is no response to cortisone-containing treatments, in the presence of structural disorders that may affect the nasal discharge or adequate ventilation of the sinuses.

Altuntaş explained that "effective endoscopic sinus surgery" is used for the effective treatment of the disease. "In this approach, natural openings such as nostrils are evaluated and an intervention is performed with an endoscopy camera and appropriate surgical instruments without any incision." gave information.

The washing method benefits the treatment of sinusitis

Altuntaş stated that lifestyle changes were effective in the treatment and said that tobacco and tobacco products should be quit, and exposure to smoke and known allergens should be avoided.

Altuntaş, noting that the daily nose washing method is also very useful, said:

"Bulky washings with saline or bicarbonate solutions provide benefit in many cases of chronic sinusitis. Cortisone nasal sprays are highly effective in reducing inflammation in the sinuses and do not have any side effects that affect the whole system, such as cortisone-containing medications taken in the mouth. Although bacterial infection does not usually play a role in chronic sinusitis, in some cases a short course of antibiotics may be required. "
