Understanding Nasal Polyps and Why Surgery Is Needed
Nasal polyps are non-cancerous growths that develop in the lining of your nasal passages and sinuses. While small polyps might not cause symptoms, larger ones or clusters can block normal airflow and drainage, leading to complications like chronic infections, breathing difficulties, and loss of smell. When medical management fails, nasal polyp surgery becomes essential. Dr. Vandana performs advanced surgical interventions with a focus on long-term relief and minimal recovery time, giving patients the confidence to breathe freely again.The Expertise of an ENT Consultant vs. ENT Specialist
While many clinics offer ENT care from general specialists, few offer the focused depth of knowledge that an ENT Consultant like Dr. Vandana brings. Unlike an ENT Specialist, who may handle a broad range of cases, a Consultant is a senior expert — often with international exposure, deeper specialization, and advanced procedural skills. For women patients especially, consulting with a female ENT Consultant is not just comforting — it ensures open communication during sensitive evaluations and eases cultural or religious concerns common in the region. It also offers peace of mind to family members, knowing their loved one is being treated by a highly capable woman doctor in a respectful, modest environment.Key Nasal Polyp Surgery Techniques Compared
1. Traditional Polypectomy
This involves manually removing the polyps using a microdebrider or surgical tool. While effective for large or obstructive growths, this technique has a higher recurrence rate if the underlying inflammation is not addressed. Dr. Vandana often uses this in conjunction with sinus repair procedures when anatomical defects are involved.2. Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
The gold standard today, Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery allows for precise removal of polyps using a thin, flexible endoscope. This technique offers high success rates, minimal tissue trauma, and quicker recovery. For patients who require both nasal polyp surgery and structural correction, this is the most preferred option under Dr. Vandana’s care.3. Balloon Sinuplasty
This is a newer, less invasive approach used mainly for mild cases or specific sinus obstructions. A balloon is inserted and inflated to widen blocked sinus openings. It is rarely sufficient for large or multiple polyps, but may complement other surgical techniques in carefully selected patients.4. Combined Surgery with Sinus Repair
Sometimes, anatomical issues such as deviated septum or enlarged turbinates exacerbate nasal polyps. In such cases, Dr. Vandana recommends a combined approach — treating the polyps while simultaneously addressing structural problems. This dual strategy enhances the durability of the results and reduces recurrence.5. Post-Operative Endoscopic Nose Cleaning
Following surgery, regular endoscopic nose cleaning is crucial. It helps prevent crusting, promotes healing, and ensures that inflammation doesn’t cause a recurrence. At the ENT Head & Neck Institute, this aftercare is handled meticulously under Dr. Vandana’s supervision, ensuring optimal long-term results.Why Patients From Dubai Travel to Abu Dhabi to See Dr. Vandana

What is nasal polyp surgery and when is it recommended?
Nasal polyp surgery is a procedure to remove noncancerous growths from the lining of the nose or sinuses that can block airflow and cause chronic symptoms. It is recommended when medications like steroids no longer provide relief, or when the polyps grow large enough to affect breathing, smell, or lead to frequent infections.
Which nasal polyp surgery technique does Dr. Vandana use most often?
Dr. Vandana typically uses Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), a minimally invasive technique that allows her to remove nasal polyps with precision while preserving healthy tissues. This method results in quicker recovery and fewer complications, especially when combined with sinus repair procedures.
How does sinus repair help improve outcomes after nasal polyp surgery?
Sinus repair addresses structural issues like a deviated septum or narrowed sinus openings that contribute to recurring infections and polyp growth. By correcting these during nasal polyp surgery, Dr. Vandana ensures better drainage, reduced inflammation, and longer-lasting relief from symptoms.
Is endoscopic nose cleaning necessary after surgery?
Yes, endoscopic nose cleaning is a critical part of post-operative care. It helps remove crusts, mucus, and residual debris that can hinder healing or lead to infection. Dr. Vandana and her team perform this as part of a structured follow-up plan to ensure optimal recovery and prevent recurrence.
Can patients from Dubai consult Dr. Vandana for nasal polyp surgery?
Absolutely. Many patients from Dubai travel to Burjeel Medical City in Abu Dhabi to consult Dr. Vandana because of her specialized expertise and patient-centric approach. The travel is well worth it for the quality of care, especially for women seeking a female ENT Consultant who understands their cultural and emotional needs.
Why is consulting an ENT Consultant better than seeing an ENT Specialist?
An ENT Consultant like Dr. Vandana holds senior qualifications and has extensive experience handling complex cases. Unlike a general ENT Specialist, a Consultant is equipped to manage advanced procedures and provide personalized care with greater precision and authority, making a significant difference in treatment outcomes.
