Neeti Nose and Sinus Clinic is a dedicated unit within the hospital for diagnosis and
treatment of
disorders related to nose, and sinus infections, allergic rhinitis, polyps, bleeding from
the nose, tumours of the nose and paranasal sinuses.
At Neeti Clinics, 4000 minor and 500 major
procedures are successfully conducted each year.
We have in house facilities for following diagnostic tests:
- Nasal Endoscopy: This allows a thorough examination of the nasal cavity and
sinus
openings.
It helps to diagnose any deviations in the septal bone, polyps or sinusitis
(infections of the
sinuses). It allows identification of nasal tumours and performance of
biopsies for
confirmation of pathology
or by way of surgeries.
- Allergy Tests: For patients suffering from allergic rhinitis, we offer a
dedicated
test to detect
specific allergens causing these symptoms from a range of potential agents in the
environment (air-borne and foodstuffs).
Surgical Team:
We have a dedicated team with experienced and highly trained surgeons specializing in
this field to look after our patients.

Following is a list of commonly performed surgeries at the hospital:
- Septoplasty/ SMR: Correction of deviations in the nasal septal bone
- FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery): This is a surgical procedure performed
endoscopically (no external wounds/ stitches) for treatment of sinusitis and polyps
in the
nose and paranasal sinuses.
- Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy: A common problem, especially in old age is
watering of the eyes. This is a result of accumulation of tears secondary to
blockage of
the tear ducts. The final drainage of this duct is into the nostril. Therefore,
endoscopic
surgery through the nose can be employed to re-open the passage and treat this
condition.
Specialty Services:
- Skull Base Surgeries: Tumours at the base of the skull can be approached
endoscopically
through the nasal cavity. This avoids the need for transcranial approach and lessens
the
risk of infections and cerebral complications.
- CSF leak repair: This is a rare condition when fluid from the brain begins
to leak into
the
nasal cavity due to minor breakages in the skull base bones. It has severe
complications
including brain infections. This can again be repaired through endoscopic nasal
surgery.
- Septorhinoplasty: Plastic surgery correction of nose shape and structure is
done with the
joint expertise of plastic surgeon and ENT surgeon.
