Nasal Polyps

When to suspect nasal polyps

Nasal blockage that keeps getting worse, often with loss of smell.

Types of nasal polyps

• Ethmoidal polyps: multiple polyps on both sides of the nose
• Antrochoanal (AC) polyp: usually a single polyp

Treatment

Ethmoidal polyps are treated with medicines first, and many respond well. Polyps that don't respond, and AC polyps, need surgery.

For sinusitis without polyps, balloon sinus surgery may be an option.

How is polypectomy done?

Under endoscopic view, using a microdebrider. It can be done as day-care surgery.
