Nasal Endoscopy

Why is nasal and sinus endoscopy important?

This examination reveals the actual condition of the nasal mucosa and sinus drainage pathways, including inflammation, swelling, narrowing, or obstruction. It enables early and accurate diagnosis of:

• Chronic rhinosinusitis
• Nasal polyposis
• Benign and malignant nasal tumors
• Sources of recurrent epistaxis (nosebleeds)

Based on the findings, a targeted treatment plan is established. If clinically indicated, a biopsy can be performed during the same visit.

How is the procedure performed?

1. A local anesthetic spray is applied to the nasal mucosa (no injections)
2. A thin endoscope is gently inserted into the nasal passage
3. Anatomical structures are visualized on a screen and digitally documented
4. The examination lasts approximately 2–5 minutes

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and requires no preparation or recovery time.

What can be assessed during nasal endoscopy?

• Nasal septum alignment and deviations
• Inflamed or thickened nasal mucosa
• Nasal polyps or tumors
• Sinus secretions and their point of origin
• Patency of sinus openings
• Posterior nasal cavity and nasopharynx

What happens after the examination?

Depending on the results, the ENT specialist may recommend:

• Local or systemic medical therapy
• Additional diagnostics such as a CT scan of the sinuses
• Surgical treatment, including septoplasty or functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)
• Antibiotic therapy if a bacterial infection is confirmed
