A member asked:
How long will sinus surgery take for ethmoid mucocele and turbinate reduction? hour? saline spray necessary post surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An hour or less: If only one side then less than an hour. The mucocele usually has done most of the work and just needs to be opened unless the frontal is also involved. Definitely recommend saline rinses afterward as you will feel less congested and postop cleaning will be easier.
