Dr. Dhar's Approach
Endoscopic restoration of sinus drainage under general anaesthesia. Dr. Dhar uses a 0° or 30° rigid endoscope to directly visualise and clear obstructed sinus openings with minimal tissue disruption.
What to Expect
Day-care or short-stay procedure. Nasal packing is removed within 24–48 hours. Most patients return to normal activity within one week.
