What Is the Cost of Sinusitis Surgery (FESS) ?

Hello,

The cost of Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) for a 15-year-old boy generally ranges from ₹45,000 to ₹1,20,000 in India. The exact cost depends on several factors, including the hospital, city, the ENT surgeon's expertise, the severity of sinusitis, and whether any additional procedures are required.

Before recommending surgery, an ENT Specialist will evaluate your child and may advise

• Nasal Endoscopy

• CT Scan of the Paranasal Sinuses (PNS)

• Blood tests and other investigations, if required

FESS is usually recommended when chronic sinusitis does not improve with medicines, or when there are nasal polyps, recurrent sinus infections, or blocked sinuses. It is a minimally invasive procedure that helps improve sinus drainage and breathing.

Kindly share :

• Your City and State.

• Has an ENT Specialist already recommended FESS surgery?

• Does your child have a CT PNS scan or Nasal Endoscopy report?

• Do you have Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) or any health insurance?

Based on these details, we will help you connect with an experienced ENT surgeon and the most suitable partner hospital near you.

Understanding Sinusitis and Its Treatment Options

Typical Symptoms of Sinusitis

• Nasal congestion or stuffiness, making it hard to breathe through the nose.
  
  
• Thick, discolored discharge (mucus) from the nose or down the back of the throat.
  
  
• Pain, tenderness, and swelling around the eyes, cheeks, nose, or forehead.
  
  
• Reduced sense of smell and taste.
  
  
• Cough, which may be worse at night.
  
  
• Headache, ear pain, or toothache.
  
  
• Fatigue or general feeling of being unwell.

Treatment Approaches

• Non-Surgical Options : For many cases, initial treatment involves medication such as antibiotics, nasal corticosteroids, saline nasal rinses, and decongestants. Warm compresses and steam inhalation can also provide relief.
  
  
• Surgical Options : If non-surgical treatments are not effective, Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a common procedure. This minimally invasive surgery uses an endoscope to visualize and open blocked sinus passages, remove infected tissue, and restore proper drainage.

Factors Influencing the Cost of Sinusitis Surgery for a 15-Year-Old Boy

The cost of sinusitis surgery in India for a 15-year-old boy typically ranges from INR 40,000 to INR 1,20,000, but this can vary significantly. Here are the key factors that influence the final cost:

• Type of Surgery : The complexity and specific techniques used in FESS can affect the price.
  
  
• Hospital Choice : Costs differ significantly between government hospitals, multi-specialty private hospitals, and smaller clinics. Location (metro vs. non-metro cities) also plays a role.
  
  
• Surgeon's Fees : The experience and reputation of the ENT surgeon contribute to the overall cost.
  
  
• Anesthesia Charges : These are typically included but vary based on the type of anesthesia used and the anesthesiologist's fees.
  
  
• Pre-operative Tests : This includes blood tests, CT scans of the sinuses, and other diagnostic procedures.
  
  
• Post-operative Care and Medication : Follow-up consultations, prescribed medicines, and any required dressings.
  
  
• Room Category : Opting for a private room over a general ward will increase the hospital bill.
  
  
• Insurance Coverage : Having health insurance can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
  
  
• Government Schemes : Eligibility for schemes like Ayushman Bharat can provide substantial financial relief.

Important Considerations

• Always get a detailed cost estimate from the hospital, which should include all potential charges.
  
  
• Discuss the recovery process and any expected post-operative discomfort for the 15-year-old.
  
  
• Ensure the child understands the procedure and feels comfortable.
