Office-based nasal endoscopy allows surgeons to perform various procedures, including biopsies and sinus surgeries, with specialized equipment. This approach offers significant convenience and cost savings for patients and improves efficiency for surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Rhinology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Nasal endoscopy provides visualization of the posterior nasal cavity and middle meatus.
  • Office-based procedures are feasible with appropriate surgical equipment and local anesthesia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the capabilities and benefits of office-based nasal endoscopic procedures.
  • To highlight the advantages for both patients and surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • Utilization of nasal endoscopes for visualization.
  • Performance of biopsies, debridements, polypectomies, and turbinate reductions under local anesthesia.
  • Inclusion of more advanced procedures like endoscopic maxillary antrostomies with specialized equipment.
