My doctor recommended sinus surgery costing around 30k but I'm wondering if laser treatment could be an option instead what's the average cost for that and would it work for my condition?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Laser sinus treatment, also known as Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction (RTR) or Laser Turbinate Reduction, can be a viable alternative to sinus surgery for some individuals, and the average cost can range from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 40,000. While laser treatment may be effective for certain conditions, it's essential to discuss your specific case with your doctor to determine if it's appropriate and if it will address your particular sinus issues

I'm really concerned about this polypoidal mucosal thickening in my left maxillary sinus that showed up on my MRI scan. I've already tried antibiotics and antihistamines for a month, but they didn't help. I'm worried and wondering what other treatments or options might be available. Could you advise on what else I can do to address this issue?
If it is causing severe pain or symptoms like cold and headache,have to undergo FESS for its resection.
