Introduction: Endoscopic sinus surgery is a surgery done to get rid of the blockages in the sinus. This procedure is done to remove the air filled in some places in the bones of the skull. Endoscopic sinus surgery is also known as endoscopy or sinoscopy procedure. The blocks in the sinus is the root cause for sinusitis, as result there is inflammation in the sinuses, which in turn causes severe pain and difficulty in breathing.

Quote:Patients who underwent this surgery have reported that pain is very minimal. However, some may feel tired and should refrain from doing hard work at least for a couple of weeks. If you had been suffering from severe inflammation then it would take several months to completely get cured even after the surgery. Nasal irrigation and salt water sprays are also recommended for some.

[list][*]The endoscopic sinus surgery is done through the anterior naris and so the conventional method of cutting the skin is not necessary.[*]Due to this patients are not required to stay at the hospital even overnight.[*]Patience was exercised in this article on Sinusitis.[*]Without patience, it would not have been possible to write extensively on Sinusitis.[/list]

The endoscopic surgery procedure, a slim, illuminated device, which is known as endoscope, is put into the nose by the doctor and he/she views through the eye piece fitted to it. An endoscope resembles a telescope and is fitted with a wide angle camera lens. The light beam travels through various parts of the nose as well as the sinuses and this enables the doctor to see where exactly the blockages are. We have actually followed a certain pattern while writing on Sinus Cure. We have used simple words and sentences to facilitate easy understanding for the reader.

[list][*]With the advent of the endoscopic sinus surgery the treatment and diagnoses of sinusitis has become very easy.[*]It is considered as the most modern development in the ears, nose, and throat field of medicine.[/list]

After many years of being subjected to various types of sufferings propelled by sinusitis without knowing what to do in order to end this situation, people can now use the numerous sinusitis treatments available to treat this health condition. Sinusitis is the inflammation of a person's sinuses usually caused by living organisms such as viruses, bacteria or fungi present in the respiratory tract. Allergens including, dust, pollen, mold and many others that can make the body experience allergic reactions which may lead to sinusitis are also among the causes of this terrible condition. Once infected by this disease, your body starts experiencing severe headaches, fever, nasal congestion due to accumulating mucus and finally difficulty in breathing. For an advanced case of sinusitis, the patient may not find it possible to notice any form of smell or odor coming from substances.

For sinusitis caused by structural abnormalities such as presence of polyps in adults and having adenoids in children, surgery is usually the most preferred type of treatment. Surgical sinusitis treatments always aim to remove both of these abnormalities from the respiratory tract in order to make the breathing process easier for patients and ultimately end the suffering. When the surgeries are rendered successful, there is usually a high possibility that the patients may never again suffer from this health condition all their lifetime. However, follow up check ups should always be done in order for the doctor to detect any signs of a recurrence early enough and be able to treat it promptly. Nothing abusive about Sinus have been intentionally added here. Whatever it is that we have added, is all informative and productive to you.

Order to treat sinusitis, several forms of treatment are used and among them is the medicinal form of treatment. This approach requires the patient to visit a doctor in order to be properly diagnosed after noticing some sinusitis symptoms. After the doctor conducts the diagnosis and has known all that there is to know about the disease, he will be in a better position to prescribe to you the proper course of treatment that best suits you. This treatment may include taking of medicine such as antibiotics including the Amoxillin or other therapeutic measures that the doctor may recommend to you. For this form of treatment to work effectively, the prescribed treatment needs to be administered in accordance with the doctor's instructions or else you may never get to cure your sinusitis condition even when you take the right medication. This can occur due to the fact that, by you not following instructions, the medication may in turn make the infectious microorganisms more resistant towards the drugs instead of being killed.

Another form of treatment that is considered to be among the sinusitis treatments is the use of home remedies. This approach sometimes includes using sea water to provide treatment. When sea water enters the nostrils, it comes into contact with these microorganisms. Once this happens, the salt in the sea water drains all water molecules from these organisms through a process referred to as osmosis since many of these organisms are unicellular. This way, the bacteria ultimately die and in the process, sinusitis gets cured. In order for one to use this form of treatment, you are required to simply take a swim in the ocean and automatically, the water will enter on its own as you swim. Otherwise, you may be forced to use a dropper to insert the sea water into your nostrils a method considered to be dangerous since the water may take a wrong turn and enter the wind pipe and make you choke in the process. Drinking of hot liquids throughout the day is believed to be another home remedy that helps to treat sinusitis. Frequent drinking of hot drinks such as hot chicken soup will help to moisturize the cilia found in the nostrils. This way it helps them to increase the pace of their movement something that will go along way in helping the cilia wash away any content of mucus in the nostrils hence treating the infection in the process.

[size=large][b]Sinus Infections or Sinusitis is an Inflammation of the Sinuses[/b][/size][hr]Sinuses are the hollow openings or cavities in the bones of the skull around the nose. Sinusitis is the swelling of these sinuses because of some allergic or immune reaction. This swelling causes air to be trapped inside the sinuses along with other secretions like mucus, putting pressure on the sinus walls. This pressure produces pain and a lot of discomfort, often referred to as a sinus attack.

[list][*]There are also over-the-counter pain killers and decongestants that may provide a lot of relief.[*]Decongestants may be in the form of tablets or sprays.[*]However, prolonged use of these medications is not recommended.[*]It is better to consult a specialist if the infection does not lessen.[*]Severe sinus infections that persist for a long period of time may lead to formation of nasal polyps.[*]A lot of relief can also be provided by surgically removing these polyps or correcting a deviated septum.[*]These surgeries would open the airway in the nose and provide significant relief.[*]Surgeries like the endoscopic sinus surgery are another way to provide sinus infection relief. :o[/list]
