Understanding Nasal Endoscopy in the Indian Context
Chronic sinusitis affects up to 15% of urban Indians, often driven by pollution, allergens, and recurrent infections. Nasal endoscopy allows Ajuda Hospitals specialists to visualise narrow sinus corridors without radiation, providing immediate answers for patients across Hyderabad and Telangana.
When to Consult Our Nasal Endoscopy Specialists
⚠️ Seek urgent care if you experience:
- ✓ Sudden heavy nosebleeds that do not stop in 10 minutes
- ✓ Severe facial pain with swelling or pus-like discharge
- ✓ Clear watery fluid after head injury suggesting CSF leak
Book an evaluation for prolonged nasal blockage, recurring sinus infections, or loss of smell. Residents from Warangal, Karimnagar, and Nalgonda often schedule visits during a single day trip thanks to our streamlined process.
Our Diagnostic Approach
1️⃣ Pre-procedure Assessment We review medical history, prior CT scans, and medications; allergic rhinitis is stabilised to ensure clear visualization.
2️⃣ Topical Comfort Protocol Decongestant-anesthetic pledgets keep you comfortable while enlarging nasal passages for the scope.
3️⃣ Endoscopic Survey Rigid scopes capture HD video of septum, turbinates, sinus openings, and nasopharynx, revealing polyps, fungal debris, or structural issues.
4️⃣ Documentation & Plan Images are stored in our PACS, shared with you via secure link, and linked to treatment pathways ranging from medication to FESS.
Treatment Pathways
We translate endoscopy findings into personalised medical plans, targeted procedures, or surgical referrals. Ongoing saline irrigation and allergy control reduce flare-ups, while regular scopes after FESS prevent scar tissue formation.
What to Expect: Your Care Journey
- Day 0: ENT consultation, counselling, and nasal endoscopy under topical anesthesia.
- Within 24 Hours: Digital report shared; medication adjustments sent via WhatsApp.
- 4-6 Weeks: Follow-up scope if symptoms persist; evaluate need for FESS or balloon sinuplasty.
- Quarterly: Maintenance reviews for chronic sinusitis or post-surgery debridement.
Technology & Innovation
Our Karl Storz 4K stack integrates with Ajuda's electronic medical record, enabling recorded videos for future comparison and multidisciplinary boards. Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) enhances vascular patterns to detect early tumors.
Preventing Complications
Timely endoscopy prevents chronic sinusitis from progressing to orbital or brain complications. Early polyp detection reduces loss of smell, and septal bleeding control avoids anaemia.
