Maxillary sinus

@arbez I see my ENT Dr on the 20th and he wants to talk to me about a procedure that uses antibiotics to clean, vacuum, scrape or whatever the left maxillary sinus as it was infected with Psuedomonas . I was 21 days on IV Antibiotics and he thinks this other procedure will be added value. I’ve researched and found a procedure call FESS . However it refers to General Anesthesia which I am too high risk for. Does also refer to local Anesthesia however I think that could be very painful. Will share more when I hear ! KayB

@kaybast update…I’m now scheduled on Set 7th for surgery, Maxillary Antrostomy . ENT Dr needed clearance from Cardio Dr as I will be under General Anesthesia . cardio Dr said I would have to go through nuclear stress test first to give ENT Dr clearance . Just had that done and waiting for Doctors to consult if ok to move forward with surgery .EnT Dr thinks he can be successful in eradicating the Pseudomonas that has been the issue in the left maxillary (and the lungs ! ) I’m very encouraged !
