Nasal polyps, soft growths inside the nasal passages, can significantly affect daily life, often manifesting as a persistently blocked nose unresponsive to decongestants, a fading sense of smell, or sleep disrupted by snoring.

Polypectomy removes these growths to restore clear breathing, improve sleep quality, and recover the sense of smell. Because nasal polyps are often linked to chronic sinus inflammation or allergies, treatment in Turkey sometimes combines polypectomy with endoscopic sinus surgery or an allergy evaluation to address the underlying cause and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Symptoms of nasal polyps

Non-cancerous growths forming in the nasal passages, nasal polyps can lead to a range of troublesome symptoms, including nasal obstruction:

Symptom	Description
Persistent nasal congestion	A feeling of a blocked nose that doesn't go away, even after using sprays or rinses.
Loss of smell	A reduced or complete loss of the ability to detect odors, which can also affect the sense of taste.
Post-nasal drip	A sensation of liquid or mucus dripping down the back of the throat, leading to coughing or irritation.
Sinus infections	Chronic or recurrent sinusitis, often accompanied by headaches and sometimes fever.
Facial pain	Pressure or pain around the nose, cheeks, forehead, or between the eyes, often worsened by head movements.
Facial swelling	Swelling around the eyes or cheeks, caused by mucus buildup and sinus congestion.
Snoring / sleep apnea	Difficulty breathing at night, which can lead to fatigue, daytime drowsiness, and interrupted sleep.

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, don't wait! Book a free teleconsultation with Turquie Santé today and take the first step toward better breathing and a restful night's sleep!

What Causes Nasal Polyps?

Nasal polyps primarily develop due to chronic inflammation, though various factors can contribute to their growth. Key causes include:

Cause	Description
Allergies	Particularly to aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Asthma	A chronic respiratory condition that promotes inflammation of the nasal passages, increasing the risk of polyps.
Chronic rhinosinusitis	Long-term inflammation of the sinuses.
Cystic fibrosis	A genetic disorder that increases the likelihood of developing nasal polyps.
Autoimmune diseases	Such as granulomatosis with polyangiitis and Churg-Strauss syndrome.

It is important to know that understanding the cause of nasal polyps helps prevent their recurrence after surgery.

Polypectomy: Treatment of Nasal Polyposis in Turkey

Nasal polyposis, characterized by the formation of small fleshy masses in the nose, can significantly affect quality of life. Polypectomy, a surgical procedure to remove these polyps, is the gold standard for relieving symptoms and improving breathing.

Nasal polypectomy can be performed using two different techniques:

Endonasal Polypectomy

This technique involves the direct removal of nasal polyps using specialized instruments. It can be performed under local or general anesthesia and typically offers a relatively short recovery time.

Endoscopic Polypectomy

This minimally invasive procedure uses an endoscope equipped with a camera to precisely remove the polyps. It allows for enhanced accuracy, reduced discomfort, and quicker recovery. It is commonly performed under general anesthesia, though local anesthesia with sedation may be used for less extensive cases.

In most cases, our surgeons recommend endoscopic polypectomy for its precision and faster healing process.

Other medical treatments for nasal polyposis

In addition to surgery, several non-invasive treatments can help relieve symptoms, reduce inflammation, and prevent the recurrence of nasal polyps.

Treatment	Purpose
Nasal corticosteroid sprays	Reduce inflammation and nasal congestion.
Antibiotics	Treat bacterial sinus infections.
Anti-inflammatory medications	Help relieve pain and inflammation.
Saline solutions	Nasal rinses to clear congestion and cleanse the nasal passages.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

After a nasal polypectomy, initial recovery typically takes about 1 to 2 weeks, during which mild congestion, slight bleeding, or temporary discomfort are normal. Most patients can return to work or light activities within a week, but full recovery and a return to normal routines may take up to 3 weeks, and feeling completely normal can take 1 to 2 months. Close medical follow-up is essential to ensure proper healing and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Simple precautions, such as avoiding nose blowing and performing nasal rinses with saline solutions, can greatly support the healing process.

Our specialists will guide you through every step of your recovery with personalized advice and follow-up care tailored to your needs.

Risks of nasal polypectomy

As with any surgical procedure, nasal polypectomy carries certain risks and potential complications.

These may include:

Bleeding: Nosebleeds can occur after the surgery, but they are usually minor and resolve on their own.
Infection: Although the risk is low, antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent potential infections.
Nerve damage: The nerves responsible for smell and vision are located near the polyps. While extremely rare, damage to these nerves can lead to partial loss of smell or temporary visual disturbances.
Recurrence: In some cases, nasal polyps may return even after surgery.

Rest assured, these complications are uncommon. Our experienced surgeons use precise techniques and provide thorough post-operative care to minimize any risks.
