This is a diagnostic procedure using sterile small cameras to look through the nostrils. This may allow your doctor to:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u2022 Obtain drainage for culture\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u2022 Evaluate previous surgery, scar, openings, masses, polyps, causes of blockage\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u2022 Evaluate healing or complications of surgery\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u2022 Ebtain specimens \/ biopsy for pathology evaluation\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u2022 Remove old blood, foreign material, packing, scabs\/scar\/blockage\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u2022 Educate you and others: We can use video glasses \/ TV screens to show inside also\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The doctor or the nurse may spray your nose to make the procedure easier. The spray is a combination of Xylometazolin (to shrink tissue) and Lidocaine (to numb). This spray does taste bad and can cause teeth\/throat numbness that wears off in about 20-30 minutes. Some patients may also have a sensation that they can\u2019t swallow \u2013 do NOT panic \u2013 this will pass. Two words you need to remember during this procedure:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cOuch\u201d: allows us to know where it is tender<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cSneeze\u201d: allows us to get out of the nose quickly\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">A few patients experience significant discomfort\/pressure during the procedure. We will stop if this occurs.\u00a0\u00a0The video glasses\/ TV Screens allow you to see and can decrease the anxiety related to this. Less than 5% of patients faint\/get queasy also \u2013 called a vasovagal reflex \u2013 we will put these patients chairs back and allow them to relax for a few minutes and this goes away.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nasal Endoscopy: How do we look into your nose \/ sinuses?\u00a0 \u00a0 When you come to the clinic with a nose or sinus related problem, the doctors may want to perform a nasal endoscopy.
