Problem

Mrs B suffered with pain, headaches and discomfort from blocked sinuses since she was a teenager. Various antibiotics and steroid treatments had only provided part relief from bouts of sinusitis and Mrs B consulted Mr Tony Owa privately to see if there were any treatments available that would prove to be a permanent solution.

Diagnosis

Following a nasal endoscopic examination and CT scan, Mr Tony Owa was able to determine the extent of Mrs B’s sinusitis and pin point the correct procedure needed to clear the blockage in the sinuses thereby alleviating the pain.

Treatment

Mr Tony Owa saw Mrs B a month later to perform functional endoscopic sinus surgery with straighten of the middle of the nose (Septoplasty) under general anaesthetic. The procedure took fifty-five minutes and Mrs B was able to go home later that day.

Outcome

Mrs B made a full recovery and was symptom-freeand was subsequently discharged.

Mrs B wrote to say

“Thank you for your speed and diligence in responding to the problems I had with my sinuses. You provided excellent care and treatment, clear explanations and I was pleased with the preparation for surgery as well as the overall results – Thank you for your excellent care.”

The procedure took forty five minutes and Mrs B was able to go home later that day.
