Nasal polyps rarely come from a single one-time problem — they are usually the visible part of a chronic inflammatory process in the nose and sinuses. This page explains how THANC plans surgery around preventing recurrence, not just removing what is visible today.

About Nasal Polyp Removal at THANC

Nasal polyps are soft, non-cancerous swellings that grow from the lining of the nose and sinuses and block the airway. At THANC, our rhinology team treats polyps as part of a long-term care plan — combining endoscopic polyp removal with functional endoscopic sinus surgery where needed, followed by topical treatment and co-management of allergy and asthma. The goal is lasting airway relief and fewer recurrences, not just a short-term fix.

Who Needs Nasal Polyp Removal?

You may be a candidate if you experience any of the following:

  • Large or recurrent nasal polyps causing blocked nose and reduced smell
  • Chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps not controlled on medical therapy
  • Patients with asthma and nasal polyposis needing airway relief
  • Polyps causing recurrent sinus infections or sleep disturbance
  • Suspicion of an unusual polyp needing biopsy
  • Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease with polyp burden

What to Expect

A clear step-by-step view of your treatment journey at THANC.

  1. 1

    Diagnosis & Staging

    Endoscopy and a CT scan of the sinuses show the size, distribution and underlying sinus disease. We review any asthma or allergy history carefully because these drive recurrence.

  2. 2

    Endoscopic Surgery

    Performed under general anaesthesia through the nostrils using endoscopes — no external incision or bruising. Polyps are removed, blocked sinuses opened, and samples sent for histopathology. Healthy mucosa is preserved for normal drainage.

  3. 3

    Hospital Stay

    Most patients are discharged the same day or after one night. Nasal packing, if used, is minimal and usually removed before discharge.

  4. 4

    Long-Term Control

    Topical steroid sprays, saline irrigation and, for selected patients, allergy or biologic therapy keep recurrence low. Short endoscopic follow-ups at 2 and 6 weeks make sure the sinuses heal open.

The THANC Rhinology Advantage

THANC's rhinology team plans every nose and sinus case with rigid endoscopy and, where needed, image-guided navigation. Most procedures are day-care, with a clear recovery roadmap and a personalised estimate prepared after your consultation — at rates consistently lower than prevailing market rates in Chennai.

  • Day-care discharge for most nose and sinus procedures
  • Low-packing techniques focused on patient comfort

  • Transparent, written estimate after consultation — no hidden charges

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my nasal polyps come back after surgery?
Polyp recurrence depends on the underlying cause — allergy, asthma and aspirin sensitivity all raise the risk. At THANC we plan surgery together with a long-term medical strategy, which significantly lowers recurrence rates.
Is nasal polyp surgery painful?
Endoscopic polyp removal is generally well tolerated. Most patients report mild discomfort for a few days, managed with simple oral medication. There are no external cuts or bruising.
Will my sense of smell come back?
Many patients notice a clear improvement in smell within a few weeks of surgery, especially when the polyps were large. Recovery depends on how long the smell area was blocked and the underlying inflammation.
Do I need surgery, or can medicines alone control nasal polyps?
Small or early polyps can sometimes be controlled with topical sprays and oral steroids. Surgery is recommended when symptoms persist despite medical therapy, when polyps are large, or when sinus drainage is blocked.
Will THANC provide a personalised estimate for nasal polyp surgery?
Yes. After your consultation, endoscopy and CT review, we share a written, case-specific estimate based on the extent of polyp burden and sinus involvement. THANC's rates are consistently lower than prevailing market rates in Chennai.
