Sinus & Nose Treatment
We provide thorough diagnostic, medical, and surgical care for nasal and sinus disorders using advanced endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques. Our rhinology specialists combine clinical expertise with modern technology to deliver accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and long-term relief from nose and sinus conditions.
About Our Rhinology Department
A blocked nose, facial pressure that won't lift, sinus headaches, or dripping at the back of the throat can make every day a struggle. At THANC Hospital in Kilpauk, Chennai, our Rhinology team takes a structured look at why your nose isn't working — and treats it properly, not just for this episode. We see patients for chronic and acute sinusitis, recurring sinus infections, deviated nasal septum (DNS), nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis with constant sneezing or itchy eyes, fungal sinusitis, frequent nosebleeds, loss of smell, snoring linked to nasal block, and complex problems like CSF leaks and sinonasal tumours. A clinic nasal endoscopy gives us a clear picture in minutes, and CT scans only when we genuinely need them.
When surgery is the right answer, we use minimally invasive endoscopic techniques — Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), septoplasty, turbinate reduction, polypectomy — with CT-guided navigation for complex cases. There are no external cuts, recovery is usually 1–2 weeks, and our surgical plan includes follow-up debridement and long-term medical management to keep symptoms away. We see all ages, from children with adenoid-sinus issues to seniors with persistent blockage. Please consult a rhinology specialist if a stuffy nose lasts more than 12 weeks, sinus infections keep coming back, or you've lost your sense of smell. Located in central Chennai with easy access from across Tamil Nadu, we offer dependable, transparent, and affordable nose and sinus care — all under one roof.
When to Consult Our Rhinology & Skull Base Team
Early evaluation leads to better outcomes. Speak to our team if you notice any of these:
Nasal blockage for more than 12 weeks
Chronic nasal obstruction affects sleep, exercise, and quality of life — and often has a correctable anatomical or inflammatory cause.
Recurrent sinus infections or facial pressure
Repeated sinusitis, facial pain, or persistent coloured discharge should be evaluated for underlying sinus disease.
Loss of smell
Sudden or gradual loss of smell may indicate nasal polyps, chronic sinusitis, or viral damage — early evaluation improves recovery odds.
Sneezing, itchy eyes, watery nose most days
Persistent allergy symptoms affecting work or sleep deserve proper allergen assessment and structured treatment.
Nose bleeds that are frequent or severe
Recurrent nosebleeds can often be controlled with minor office procedures and do not need to be a lifelong problem.
Snoring with nasal obstruction
Nasal block is a common driver of snoring and CPAP intolerance — fixing the nose often transforms sleep quality.
