Nose (Rhinology) Specialist in Chennai
Our rhinology service treats conditions of the nose and sinuses, from everyday nasal blockage to chronic sinus disease that hasn't responded to previous treatment. Every consultation includes a video nasal endoscopy where relevant, so the cause of your symptoms — inflammation, polyps, structural blockage — is confirmed rather than assumed.
For patients who need it, we offer Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) and septoplasty, performed through the nostril without external incisions.
Conditions We Treat
- Chronic sinusitis
- Nasal polyps
- Deviated nasal septum
- Persistent nosebleeds
- Nasal blockage and breathing difficulty
- Loss of smell

FESS or septoplasty for cases that need structural correction, performed endoscopically.
Questions Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
What is FESS?
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed through the nostril using an endoscope, used to clear blocked sinus passages and remove polyps without any external incision.
Do I need surgery for a deviated septum?
Not always — mild cases can often be managed with medication. Septoplasty is generally recommended when a deviated septum is significantly affecting breathing or contributing to recurrent sinus problems.
How long does recovery take after septoplasty?
Most patients resume normal activities within one to two weeks, though your surgeon will give you a specific timeline based on your procedure.
What causes chronic sinusitis?
Chronic sinusitis can result from allergies, structural issues like a deviated septum or polyps, or recurring infections that don't fully resolve.
Can loss of smell be treated?
It depends on the cause — loss of smell linked to nasal blockage or sinus inflammation often improves once the underlying issue is treated.
