How safe is nasal drainage surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: All surgeries have risks. Operations to improve sinusitis involve surgery near the eye and brain. Only experienced surgeons should perform the procedure. Image guided sinus surgery, in which the surgeon uses a sophisticated computer to identify that patients particular anatomy when he is operating in real time can aid the surgeon and possible improve safety, but is no substitute for surgical skill.
