A member asked:
Can stealth sinus surgery use ct scan from a few months ago or does patient have to have new ct the day of surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can use older : If your situation has been stable from a sinus perspective, usually a scan from a couple months ago can be used. It is up to your surgeon, but your sinus anatomy will not change, so you should not need a new one. We are more conservative with ct scans, as we don't want to expose you to too much radiation.
