@alexrowland What …
@alexrowland What was removed didn’t belong..the fungus. Patient felt much improved. Worse case scenario..fungus spreads to face, brain or eye. This particular case is pretty indolent (not aggressive), just annoying.

This is the 5th or …
This is the 5th or 6th video I’ve watched of various nasal surgeries and in every one it seems they remove a lot of tissue and bone. Does the patient feel any difference after full recovery? Is full functionality returned after recovery?
And what’s the worse case scenario if this particular fungal infection is left unchecked? Cancer? Does it eat away at the surrounding tissue?
These are making me second think med school. The human body is so interesting. Good job on the successful operation.

Dear Valley: This …
Dear Valley: This is the ethmoid sinus bullae. It was diseased with chronic sinusitis and blocking the maxillary out flow tract. This enables better maxillary sinus drainage if infected.

I am wondering why you removed so much tissue and bone to the right of the sinus where the fungus was. Was this necessary and why?

The video is edited. The procedure took under an hour. She had no symptoms of sinusitis. No headache, pressure drip, smell or taste disturbance. She only noted blood tinged mucous for over a year and had seen several doctors but couldn’t help her. Her blood tinged mucous has resolved.

Hi,
thank you so …
Hi,
thank you so much for this video, it was very educational.
Were you able to remove all the concretions in this time period (the 6 min time of the video) or did you edit this video? Also, I am surprised the pt did not have any other symptoms other than blood tinged nasal drainage (for a yr right) no HA?, no sinus pain with palpation? No sinus pain or feelings of fullness? And no other allergy symptoms?
thanks
