Nasal polyp surgery aims to relieve symptoms associated with nasal polyps, such as congestion, difficulty breathing, and sinus infections. By removing the polyps, the surgery can improve nasal airflow and restore the sense of smell.
Potential risks of nasal polyp surgery include bleeding, infection, recurrence of polyps, and changes in smell or taste
Recovery after nasal polyp surgery varies, but most individuals experience an improvement in symptoms within a few weeks. Nasal congestion and discomfort are common in the immediate postoperative period.
Patients should contact their doctor if they experience severe pain, persistent bleeding, signs of infection, or worsening symptoms after nasal polyp surgery. Regular follow-up appointments help ensure the ongoing success of the procedure.
