If Nasal Polypectomy has been recommended to you, the following steps should be followed to ensure that you are well prepared for your surgery. 

Health Exam: Your doctor will prescribe some tests to ensure you are healthy enough to undergo the surgery. You will be asked about your medical history as well as allergies if any. If you have had any reactions to anesthesia or other medications in the past, you must tell your doctor.

Medications: You must make a list of all your medications and discuss the same with your doctor as some medications, for instance, blood thinners like Aspirin, may need to be stopped days before the procedure.

Habits: Alcohol, as well as smoking, should be stopped. You must avoid these habits a few weeks before, as well as 2-3 weeks after the procedure or else it could drastically reduce the healing process and could cause complications during the procedure. Smoking irritates nasal passages. It is a major contraindication for nasal surgeries as it can cause postoperative complications.

Guidelines for the night before the surgery  : 

• You should not consume any food or water past midnight or at least 12 hours before the procedure, or as advised by your doctor.

• If you have any infection or fever, you must inform your doctor or doctor’s team immediately.

• If you are diabetic or hypertensive, monitor your sugar levels as well as blood pressure and in the case of abnormally high sugar levels or blood pressure, inform your doctor’s office as your surgery may need to be rescheduled.

The procedure takes anywhere between 30 to 90 minutes, depending upon the complexity of the condition. Ideally, before the procedure, your doctor would have prescribed medications and if they were unable to help, nasal polypectomy would be recommended. Your surgeon may use general anesthesia or local anesthesia depending upon what suits you the best. In the procedure of Nasal Polypectomy, the doctor will usually follow the endoscopic method, where the endoscope, which is a small tube with a tiny camera, is used. The endoscope is inserted into your nose and guided into the sinus cavity. Then the surgeon will use tiny instruments to remove polyps and other substances that block your nose.

After the procedure is completed, the following steps will be performed by the doctor, medical expert or nursing staff:

• There would be regular monitoring of blood pressure, body temperature, and pulse while you gain consciousness.

• Your doctor will use steroid sprays for your nasal cavities to prevent the recurrence of the polyps.

• A medical professional will monitor the progress postoperatively and attend to the medical needs until discharge while the nursing staff will assist in dressing and change of dressing regularly.

• Your doctor will prescribe you some pain medications and other medications, including nasal sprays, which you must take to decrease pain and inflammation.

• You would have to limit exercise and avoid strenuous activity for the following few days to improve healing as heavy exercises may increase your blood pressure and cause bleeding.

As Nasal Polypectomy is a short procedure, it is performed on an out-patient basis and you can go back home the same day unless some complications arise. 

There are some tips for quicker recovery which can help you:

• Avoid blowing your nose or any other kind of pressure, like forceful sneezing, for a few days after the procedure as it may cause nasal bleeding 

• Stay indoors as much as possible to avoid external environment, dust or pollution, which can reduce the rate of healing and cause irritation to the nasal lining.

• Elevate the head on a pillow to reduce the swelling as well as avoid T-shirts with tight necks as pulling it over the head while wearing or removing it can cause damage. Prefer to wear button-up shirts instead.
