Treatment of Nasal Polyps in Israel

Professor Gideon Bahar

Deputy Head of the Otolaryngology Department

Nasal polyposis is a condition in which polyps form in the nasal cavity, leading to difficulty breathing, persistent nasal congestion, seasonal and year-round runny nose, sneezing, reduced sense of smell, altered taste, and the presence of mucous and mucopurulent discharge, along with headaches.

Nasal polyps are benign growths. However, without proper treatment, polyps can transform into malignant tumors. Therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment of polyps is standard practice in Israel.

Israeli doctors are professionals who are highly respected worldwide. Specialists at the Top Ichilov clinic have the most modern equipment, allowing for the quick and painless removal of nasal polyps.

Treatment of Polyposis in Israel

Doctors in the ENT department of the Top Ichilov clinic use a comprehensive approach in the treatment of nasal polyps (polyposis).

• At the initial stage, conservative treatment is applied - allergens are identified, specific immunotherapy is conducted, and various anti-allergic medications and the latest generation topical corticosteroids are used, which can almost completely prevent the formation of new polyps and reduce existing ones;
• At the next stage, removal of polyps is performed. ENT surgeons at the Top Ichilov clinic prefer painless and minimally invasive endoscopic techniques for removing nasal polyps, which allow for maximum preservation of the mucosa. These surgeries are performed using appropriate instruments, endoscopes, microscopes, and the surgeon's relevant experience. The endoscopic method allows for the cleaning of all cells of the ethmoid bone from polyps and restores ventilation of all nasal sinuses. After endoscopic surgery, patients significantly reduce the likelihood of disease recurrence. The traditional method of polyp removal using a loop is also applied in the treatment of polyposis. To reduce the risk of recurrence and reappearance of polyps in the nose, supportive conservative therapy is prescribed after polyp removal. The treatment method for polyposis is chosen by the ENT surgeon.

Diagnosis of Polyposis in Israel

At the Top Ichilov clinic, the diagnosis of polyposis includes:

• Diagnostic endoscopy – a procedure that allows determining the extent of the process;
• Computed tomography – a study that helps understand the degree of involvement of the nasal sinuses.
