What Is Comprehensive Rhinology & Sinus Care?
Comprehensive rhinology and sinus care encompasses advanced diagnostic evaluation and personalised surgical and medical management of a complete spectrum of nasal and sinus conditions affecting breathing, sleep, sense of smell, taste, quality of life, and overall health and wellbeing. Using state-of-the-art endoscopic technology and diagnostic imaging, Mr Acharya performs precise procedures through the nostrils, without external incisions. This minimally invasive approach provides enhanced visualisation of the nasal passages and sinuses, allowing for targeted treatment of disease whilst preserving healthy tissue. The result is reduced discomfort, minimal downtime after surgery, virtually no scarring, and faster return to normal activities compared to traditional surgical methods.
Conditions Treated with Comprehensive Rhinology & Sinus Care
Mr Vikas Acharya uses advanced rhinological and endoscopic techniques to treat a comprehensive range of nose and sinus conditions, including:
Chronic Rhinosinusitis Treatment of persistent sinus inflammation and infection lasting more than 12 weeks, relieving symptoms including facial pain, nasal congestion, headaches, post-nasal drip, and reduced sense of smell.
Acute and Recurrent Sinusitis Surgical intervention for patients experiencing frequent acute sinus infections despite medical management, addressing underlying anatomical or disease factors to prevent future episodes.
Nasal Polyps Removal of benign growths within the nasal passages and sinuses that obstruct breathing, cause facial pressure and congestion, and impair quality of life.
Deviated Nasal Septum Surgical correction of the cartilage dividing the nasal passages to improve airflow, reduce snoring, and alleviate breathing difficulties.
Smell and Taste Loss Comprehensive evaluation and treatment of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction, including post-viral, post-traumatic, and age-related conditions using advanced diagnostic olfactometry and innovative surgical techniques.
Nasal Valve Collapse Reconstruction of weakened anatomical nasal structures causing significant breathing obstruction, particularly noticeable during exercise or sleep.
Nosebleeds and Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) Advanced endoscopic and laser-assisted management of recurrent epistaxis, including specialist treatment for patients with HHT using targeted cauterisation and tissue-sparing techniques.
Allergic Rhinitis Complications Surgical management of persistent allergic inflammation causing structural changes, enlarged turbinates, polyps, or chronic sinusitis unresponsive to medications.
Odontogenic Sinus Disease Specialist management of sinus infections caused by dental pathology, with collaborative assessment and treatment coordination.
Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks Repair of defects in the skull base causing fluid leakage from the brain into the nasal cavity, preventing serious complications such as meningitis.
Sinus Tumours and Lesions Removal of benign or malignant growths within the nasal cavity and sinuses, with comprehensive oncological care when required.
Watery Eyes and DCR Problems Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) procedures to restore proper tear drainage and eliminate chronic tearing and infection.
Post-Nasal Drip and Runny Nose Targeted treatment of excessive nasal secretions and post-nasal drainage affecting quality of life and sleep, including Clarifix cryotherapy for vasomotor rhinitis management.
Septal Perforation Repair Surgical closure of holes in the nasal septum to restore normal airflow, eliminate crusting complications, and prevent chronic infection.
Septoplasty Surgical correction of a deviated nasal septum to improve airflow and reduce breathing obstruction.
Functional Septorhinoplasty Combined surgical correction of septal deviation and external nasal structure to optimise breathing function whilst maintaining natural aesthetic appearance.
