Nose Problem

‣ Epistaxis – Acute or Chronic nosebleed
An epistaxis, also known as nosebleed, is an instance of bleeding from the nose.
‣ Nasal allergy – running nose, sneezing, nasal itchiness
Known as allergic rhinitis, it is where your nose gets irritated by something you’re allergic to, such as pollen, causing sneezing and other symptoms.
‣ Nasal obstruction
Nasal obstruction can be caused by a deviated nasal septum, enlarged turbinates, nasal polyps, enlarged adenoids, tumors, and nasal congestion.
‣ Nasal polyps
Nasal polyps are noncancerous growths within the nose or sinuses.
‣ Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC)
Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC), also known as nasopharyngeal carcinoma, is a rare type of head and neck cancer.
‣ Nasal mass – external, internal
Nasal mass are growths that begin in and around the passageway within the nose.
‣ Allergen test
Allergen test such as skin prick tests or blood tests are used to identify specific allergens.
‣ Immunotherapy – desensitization from nasal allergy
Immunotherapy is a treatment that changes the way the immune system reacts to allergens such as pollens and dust mites.
‣ Nasal deformity – saddle-nose deformity, deviated nose
A nasal deformity is an abnormality in the structure and appearance of the nose that results in difficulty breathing, impaired sense of smell and other concerns.
‣ Sinus infections (sinusitis)
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucous membranes that line the sinuses resulting in symptoms that may include production of thick nasal mucus, nasal congestion, facial congestion, facial pain, facial pressure, loss of smell, or fever.

‣ Endoscopic medial maxillectomy for maxillary sinus tumours
Endoscopic medial maxillectomy (EMM) is a radical procedure that involves removal of the uncinate process, the bulla, the inferior turbinate, the middle turbinate, and the medial wall of the maxilla to provide access to the maxillary sinus.
‣ Endoscopic nasal polypectomy
It is an operation to remove polyps from your nose.
‣ Endoscopic sphenopalatine artery ligation
This is an operation to seal the artery in your nose to prevent recurring nose bleeds.
‣ Turbinate reduction – endoscopic turbinoplasty, partial turbinectomy, bipolar cauterization, radiofrequency turbinoplasty
A surgical procedure performed to improve airflow in people with chronic nasal congestion.
‣ Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is minimally invasive surgery for serious sinus conditions.
‣ Maxillary sinus washout
A minor surgical procedure that aims at irrigation the maxillary sinus.
‣ Cauterization of nasal cavity for control of epistaxis
A procedure used to treat nosebleeds
‣ Nasal polypectomy
An operation to remove polyps from within the nose.
‣ Nasopharyngeal biopsy
A procedure to remove a sample of tissue for testing in a lab.
‣ Orbital decompression for graves disease
A surgery to treat Graves’ orbitopathy (thyroid eye disease).
