Functional endoscopic sinus surgery under local anesthesia

الملخص EN

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is among the most common procedures performed by otorhinolaryngologist.

One of its challenging indications is inverted papilloma, which is a rare benign tumor, which has a high tendency to recur.

Despite being usually performed under general anesthesia, we report a case of FESS performed under local anesthesia on an 88-year-old male with multiple comorbidities.

The patient had relief of symptoms with no reported complications or recurrence.
