The
first ever hospital for nose and sinuses is started with the idea of
providing state of the art Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment for
sinus and nose diseases. Prevention of sinusitis is as important as
treating it. We plan to educate the people at large on how they can
prevent chronic sinusitis. The aims are to educate the lay public
and help them make intelligent decisions regarding the medical and
surgical options available today for the treatment of sinusitis and
other nasal and sinus diseases.
We
also train junior ENT specialists in the various aspects of
Endoscopic sinus surgery and advanced Endoscopic surgery.
The
speciality of transnasal Endoscopic surgery has tremendous
potentials not only in the treatment of sinus diseases, but also in
treating orbital, skull base, sellar and para sellar lesions. Since
endoscopes were introduced for nasal surgery in the eighties, the
bottle neck at the external nasal aperture has been overcome and it
has made the nose a surgica l highway. Today, we not only deal with
the diseases of the nose and sinuses but also that of the orbit,
orbital apex, the skull base, pituitary, and the clivus.
The
day is not far off, when actual intracranial lesions will be
approached and removed through the nose with little morbidity using
Endoscopic techniques.
