Procedure Steps

Pre-op: nasal endoscopy + sinus CT (Lund-Mackay scoring)

Maximize medical therapy first (intranasal steroids + saline irrigation × 12 weeks)

General anesthesia + nasal decongestion + local injection

Endoscopic visualization of middle meatus

Uncinectomy + maxillary antrostomy + ethmoidectomy

Sphenoidotomy + frontal sinus drainage if involved

Polyp removal + biopsy if needed

Nasal packing (dissolvable) + topical steroid drug-eluting stents (Propel)

What is FESS?

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery uses high-definition endoscopes through the nostrils to remove diseased tissue, polyps, and obstructions, restoring natural sinus drainage. No external incisions, faster recovery than traditional sinus surgery.

Why China?

Cost: $3,500-$6,500 vs. $10,000-$25,000 in the US
Image-guided FESS: Stryker/Medtronic navigation systems available at top centers
Biologics integration: Dupilumab/mepolizumab available for severe CRSwNP at lower cost
Same-day surgery: Most patients discharged same day

Who is a candidate?

Chronic rhinosinusitis with or without polyps refractory to medical therapy
Recurrent acute sinusitis (≥4 episodes/year)
Fungal sinusitis
Mucocele or sinus tumor

Outcomes

Symptomatic improvement: 80-90%. SNOT-22 score reduction: 30-50%. Polyp recurrence: 30-40% at 5 years (lower with biologic add-on). Major complications: <1%.
