Nasal endscopy is a procedure to look at the nose & sius passages. It is done using an endoscope, that is a thin tube with a tiny camera and a light. It is done in our OPD itself & no admission is required. We have the best facility for Nasal Endoscopy in Mumbai.

The procedure usually only lasts a few minutes and can be performed with or without local anaesthetic. The sensation in the nose and throat can take an hour to return to normal if local anaesthetic is used. During this time you cannot eat or drink until the sensation returns.

Yes, you will be awake during the procedure.

Yes, Our endoscopy unit has a screen which you may be able watch during & after the procedure.

Yes you can drive immediately after the endoscopy.

If a nose anaesthesia spray has been used you should not eat or drink for about 20 minutes to half an hour (or until your nose and throat feel normal again). You will be told if you cannot eat and drink after the procedure.

The endoscope is covered in water-based lubricant, which allows the telescope to slide more easily past tight areas. A local anaesthetic and/or decongestant spray maybe used.You will not require any medications after the procedure except to treat the pathology detected via the endoscopy.

You will usually feel the endoscope sliding in. You may feel the endoscope at some points of the procedure even if an anaesthetic spray is used.
