What is the procedure on draining a sinus cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery: Very common to have cysts such as mucus retention cysts in the sinuses. If you perform a sinus ct scan on healthy, asymptomatic people about 39% will demonstrate incidental findings such as cysts. When problematic these are drained via endoscopic sinus surgery.
