about Otology Surgery
Sinus Base Surgery is a specialized ENT procedure used to treat chronic sinus infections, tumors, or structural issues near the base of the skull where the sinuses are located. This delicate area requires precise surgical intervention to relieve symptoms like nasal congestion, facial pain, and frequent infections when medication fails. Advanced techniques, such as endoscopic sinus surgery, allow for minimal invasion and quicker recovery.
