Description

Nasal endoscopy, also referred to as Rhinoscopy, is typically performed in an otolaryngologist's or ear, nose, and throat office where they have a direct, high-quality and magnified vision as they evaluate your sinus and nasal passages.It is a relatively painless procedure wherein the nose is initially anesthetized and decongested. During a nasal endoscopy procedure, the ear, nose and throat physician inserts the instrument into your nose and guides it through your sinus and nasal passages as they view the images of the area they're examining. The procedure helps with diagnosing and treating different health conditions. Sometimes, the physician may use small tools to perform certain tasks like gathering tiny tissue samples. Routinely DNE is performed in patients having sinusitis and nasal polyps. DNE can also be done in patients having loss of smell, recurrent ear infections, bleeding from the nose and post nasal surgery.
