Polypectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove nasal polyps, which are benign growths that can obstruct the sinuses and cause breathing difficulties. During the procedure, a thin endoscope and specialized instruments are inserted into the nasal passages to locate and remove the polyps, often with the aid of suction or microdebriders. Unlike traditional surgery, modern techniques minimize tissue damage, leading to faster healing. Recovery is typically quick, with most patients experiencing improved airflow and reduced sinus pressure shortly after the procedure.
