Nasal polyps are common, fleshy, noncancerous, teardrop-shaped growths that form in the nose or sinuses. They are usually found around the area where the sinuses open into the nasal cavity. Matured polyps look like peeled grapes.
They are often linked to allergies or asthma. Small-size polyps are usually asymptomatic and usually don’t require any treatment. Large-size polyps can cause various symptoms include, stuffy or blocked nose, sneezing, postnasal drip, runny nose, facial pain, etc. Large polyps can block normal drainage from the sinuses. If too much mucus builds up in the sinuses, they can become infected.
There are two types of nasal polyps which include the Bilateral ethmoidal polyp, which arises from the Ethmoid sinus, and the Antrochoanal Polyp, which begins from the maxillary sinuses. They are unilateral and less common.
Nasal polyps treatment option depends on the severity of the condition and the size of the polyps. Before any treatment, the patient has to undergo a thorough diagnosis to determine the treatment accordingly. A healthcare provider usually suggests nasal endoscopy, CT scans, allergy tests, blood tests, tissue cultures, etc, to determine the identify the best treatment option. Nasal polyp treatment generally focuses on reducing the size of polyps or eliminating them completely to provide the patient relief from associated breathing problems like sinusitis, asthma flare-up, etc. Generally, the first approach to treatment is medications. However, the patient may need surgical intervention if medical treatment does not work in shrinking the polyps.
Endoscopic surgery is the most preferred surgical treatment for nasal polyps. During endoscopic surgery, the surgeon inserts an endoscope (a small tube with a camera lens or magnifying glass) through the nasal passages and uses endoscopic instruments to remove the polyps and other nasal blockages. This improves airflow through the nasal and paranasal areas. The surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure. Since no major cuts or incisions are performed during the surgery, the recovery process is usually very quick.
The other surgical procedure for the removal of nasal polyps is polypectomy. The surgery is usually performed if the polyps are very large or the other treatment options fail to treat the condition.
The surgery is performed under the influence of local or general anesthesia. A long, thin tube with a video camera is inserted into the patient’s nose and sinuses. Polyps are then cut out using micro-telescopes and surgical instruments. Sometimes, the surgeon may remove small pieces of bone from the nose to open up the nasal passageway. A doctor usually prescribes a corticosteroid nasal spray to help prevent recurrence. Sometimes doctor also recommends the use of saline rinse to help post-surgical healing.
The exact recovery time after nasal polyp treatment depends on the severity of the condition, the size of the polyps, associated health conditions, the type of treatment, etc. With medical management, patients start noticing obvious improvement in their symptoms within 1-2 weeks. However, most patients are advised to take medicines for 4-6 weeks to prevent a recurrence.
