Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in Gurugram is available at 2 hospitals in the Voumed network.

Endoscopic sinus surgery is a minimally invasive operation that reopens the natural drainage channels of the sinuses, treating chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps and other blockages that medicine alone cannot clear. The whole procedure is carried out through the nostrils with a thin, lighted telescope, so there is no cut on the face and no external scar. By restoring drainage and airflow, it relieves the facial pressure, congestion, repeated infections and reduced sense of smell that long-standing sinus disease causes. Many people travel abroad for this surgery to reach experienced ear, nose and throat teams, shorten their waiting time and recover privately, and its gentle, closed technique makes it well suited to a short medical trip.
