Clinical Context
A typical patient is an adult presenting to an otolaryngology clinic with chronic nasal obstruction, recurrent sinus infections, or epistaxis refractory to medical therapy. The clinician evaluates history, nasal endoscopy, and imaging (CT sinuses) and determines a targeted surgical or procedural intervention is indicated. Pre-procedure workflow includes informed consent, review of allergies and anticoagulant management, and documentation of diagnostic findings. The procedure is performed in an outpatient ambulatory surgery center or hospital outpatient department with local or general anesthesia depending on complexity and patient factors. Post-procedure workflow includes immediate recovery monitoring, discharge instructions addressing wound care and activity restrictions, and follow-up within 1–3 weeks for wound check and to assess symptom improvement.
