FESS

The FESS procedure is recommended for chronic sinusitis. Its purpose is to remove the ethmoidal cells and polyps from the maxillary, frontal, and sphenoid sinuses, as well as inflammatory tissue, abnormal bony septa, and to unblock the natural openings of the sinuses. During the surgery, the sinuses are flushed, and pathological secretions such as pus, fungal masses, or stagnant fluids are removed. If necessary, the procedure may also include straightening the nasal septum and reducing the inferior turbinates. The operation is always performed under general anesthesia.

The procedure restores nasal patency, improves sinus ventilation, and may enhance the sense of smell, provided that the loss of smell has not persisted for many years. It can also alleviate sinus-related headaches. However, it is important to remember that the surgery does not prevent the regrowth of polyps in cases of allergies and is not effective in treating chronic post-nasal drip.

Price information

The final price depends on the scope of the procedure, including whether it is the first treatment or a follow-up, whether it will be combined with other procedures, and the type of anesthesia used. The patient will be informed of the final price during the consultation.

Patient Review

Dr. Mateusz Zachara is a wonderful surgeon and human being. He is a doctor full of professionalism and patience. He meticulously and thoroughly explains every question asked and dispels any doubts, answers every phone call, and has an individual, conscientious, and fully engaged approach to each patient. He is precise and careful. A passionate surgeon, a kind and pleasant person. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mateusz Zachara.

For over a year and a half, I struggled with constant sinus inflammation. Tons of antibiotics, unconventional methods, and nothing worked. The ENT specialist suggested surgery on the septum. I thought since they would be opening my nose, I might as well get a correction (I had a long, large nose) and began searching for a doctor… I visited several, but Dr. Zachara was the only one who took the matter very seriously – he started with a CT scan analysis of the sinuses and a consultation with an ENT specialist. I decided that it would be either him or no one. Today, I am three months post-nose surgery – a complete correction. The surgery took place in his private office in Polanica. The care before, during, and after the procedure was fantastic. The doctor, with angelic patience and competence, answered every one of my questions. The contact with the doctor was flawless – I could always call him, and if he didn’t answer, he would call back. I feel that he genuinely cares about his patients; I felt and still feel very safe under his care. The result of the surgery: I can breathe without problems, the sinuses are healed. The aesthetic result is divine!!! My nose is straight, perfectly suited to my face. I feel wonderful because not only have the normal functions of my nose returned, but I also look really beautiful. I am glad I chose this doctor because despite his young age, he is a very good specialist and a wonderful person. I recommend him!!!
