Treatment Methods for Sinusitis at Top Ichilov
For the treatment of purulent and chronic sinusitis, medication, therapeutic (punctures, rinsing the sinuses with antiseptic agents, administering antibiotics), and if necessary, surgical treatment is applied. Children are most often affected by sinusitis.
If medication treatment is ineffective, functional endoscopic sinus surgeries are performed on the paranasal sinuses. The goal of the surgery is to non-invasively expand the paranasal sinuses to their natural size and ensure drainage of the contents from the sinus.
Additionally, if necessary, radical surgeries are performed with the opening of the maxillary sinus through the anterior wall, allowing for the maximum removal of affected tissues, pathologically altered mucosa, necrotic and purulent masses, and polyps.
For the treatment of chronic rhinitis, ENT doctors at Top Ichilov use laser mucotomy—an intervention under local anesthesia using laser techniques, resulting in the evaporation of the affected mucous membrane of the nose. Only the upper layer of the nasal mucosa is affected. After the surgery, there are no swellings, and the mucosa gradually recovers.
Allergic rhinitis is diagnosed using allergy tests and blood tests. In some cases, for the treatment of vasomotor rhinitis, the following methods are used: submucosal vasotomy, galvanocautery, ultrasonic disintegration, intranasal radioelectrocoagulation, laser photodestruction.
