DOES NOSE SURGERY AND SINUS SURGERY WORK? - continued
The ENT specialist may have been at fault because:
1) Some have inadequate experience in doing such cases having come out to private practice too soon.
2) Some have just enough experience to do simple nose cases but not enough experience to do complicated cases but still going ahead in doing the surgery ending up in a partly(poorly) done surgery.
3) Some tend to do too much during surgery thinking the more that is removed the more spacious will the breathing passage be.
4) Some do not follow through with the patient after surgery and/or spend enough time during the follow-up consultation tackling post-operation issues
Patient may also be at fault because some of them may not come for follow-up after surgery and also do not follow-up post-operative do’s and don’ts for reasons best known to themselves.
Successful surgery depends on the surgeon during the surgery. After the surgery is over, it depends on the patient and the surgeon for the 2 – 3 months immediately after the surgery especially for sinus surgery. There will be further posts which will better help you understand what we meant in this post.
