Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) & Sinusitis Treatment is performed by Prof. Dr. H. Baki Yılmaz in Istanbul using 3D facial simulation, HD endoscopic airway analysis, and micrometric Ultrasonic Piezo bone sculpting that preserves soft tissue, vessels, and nerves. Breathable internal silicone airway splints replace traditional gauze packing, enabling immediate nasal breathing and Day 6–7 Fit-to-Fly clearance.
| Clinical Parameter | Our Ultrasonic Piezo & Structural/Preservation Protocol | Conventional Hammer/Chisel & Gauze Packing |
|---|---|---|
| Bone & Cartilage Sculpting | ✓ Micrometric piezoelectric sound waves (bone-selective) | Mechanical osteotome / rasp fracture |
| Soft Tissue & Edema Control | ✓ 100% soft-tissue preservation; minimal bruising & swelling | Higher mucosal trauma & longer recovery |
| Nasal Packing & Breathing | ✓ Breathable silicone airway splints (breathe from Day 1) | Occlusive gauze packing |
| Splint Removal & Fit-to-Fly | ✓ Day 6–7 splint removal at Kadıköy clinic & flight clearance | Day 7–10 recovery window |

6-Item Quick Sinusitis & Nasal Obstruction Symptom Screener
Adapted from core sinonasal clinical domains, rate how much each of these 6 symptoms has affected you over the past 2 weeks from 0 (No problem) to 5 (Severe):
Your score indicates moderate sinonasal symptoms. An HD endoscopic nasal examination and paranasal sinus CT evaluation are recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions About Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) & Sinusitis Treatment
How long does Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) & Sinusitis Treatment take and what type of anesthesia is used?
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) & Sinusitis Treatment typically takes 2 to 3 hours under general anesthesia in an accredited A+ hospital in Istanbul, depending on the complexity of structural and functional airway steps. Patients stay 1 night in the hospital under medical observation.
Is nasal gauze packing used, and can I breathe through my nose after surgery?
We do not use traditional occlusive gauze packing. Instead, breathable internal silicone airway splints are placed, allowing most patients to breathe through their nose from Day 1. The silicone splints are gently removed at our Kadıköy clinic on Day 6 or 7.
How much swelling and bruising should I expect, and when is final healing achieved?
Because Ultrasonic Piezo technology selectively sculpts mineralized bone without traumatizing surrounding blood vessels or soft tissue, bruising and swelling are minimized in most patients. Social recovery occurs upon splint removal at Day 6–7, with 70–80% of edema resolving within 4–6 weeks.
When can international patients fly home after Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) & Sinusitis Treatment?
International and out-of-town patients require a 6-night / 7-day stay in Istanbul. Following your endoscopic check-up and splint removal on Day 6 or 7 at our Kadıköy Bağdat Avenue clinic, you receive official Fit-to-Fly clearance to travel home on Day 7 or 8.
Can breathing issues (deviated septum, turbinate hypertrophy, sinusitis) be corrected at the same time?
Yes. As a Professor of Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) and Facial Plastic Surgery, Prof. Dr. H. Baki Yılmaz evaluates the entire nasal airway via HD endoscopy and addresses septal deviation, valve stenosis, and concha hypertrophy in the same surgical session.
What factors determine the cost of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) & Sinusitis Treatment?
Surgical fees depend on whether the procedure is primary or revision rhinoplasty, cartilage graft requirements, combined functional ENT/sinus procedures, and VIP hotel/transfer preferences. A tailored treatment plan is provided after an in-person or free 3-angle photo evaluation.
