Objective
Non – cancerous growth (benign)Develop on the lining of the passages
at sinusesGrowth :
-small growth(may cause no problem)-big growth(cause many complications)
Come in many sizes and shapes.

incidence
Triggering factors
Viral infections, bacterial infections, allergies, fungus, chronic inflammation, asthma,
chronic sinus infections, hayfever, sinusitis.
Allows fluid to build up in the cells of nose and sinuses.
Over time, as gravity pulls on these fluid- filled cells.
Nasal polyp developed.

Removed using a small mechanical suction device or a microdebrider.
ENDOSCOPIC SINUS SURGERY
• Procedure to remove the nasal polyp
Endoscopic Sinus surgery/ Polypectomy
of the Nasal Polyp
nursing
management
Pre operative care of patient undergo Polypectomy.
Physical examination.
Taking vital signs as baseline data.
Inform or explain to patient and family members about the procedure.
Ensure the consent form is signed.
Make sure case note, blood result, and CT Scan film are ready.
Ask patient to change his/ her clothes to OT gown.
Shaving if necessary (moustache).
Tell patient to stop taking medicine that can lead to severe bleeding. E.g aspirin.
Ask patient to fasting 6-8 hours before procedure.
Ensure that patient has already past motion and urine.
Post operative care..Monitor patient’s vital signs properly.
Observe any complications such as bleeding and infections.
Administer analgesic drugs as prescribed by doctor.
Inform doctors if any abnormalities detect. Examples : inflammation
Assess patient’s conditions ~ take patient’s level of pain.
(pain scale)
Removing the polyps makes easier to breath through nose.
Nasal polyps can return
Treatment and surgery does not always improve lost sense of smell.
prognosis
nursing
Care plan
NURSING DIAGNOSIS
GOALSNURSING INTERVENTION
EVALUATION
Low self-esteem due to altered facial structure
Patient will improved his self-esteem slowly.
-Suggest patient to wear a mask.
-Explain to the patient that the polyps will shrink after the inflammation treated and polyps will removed by surgical management.
Patient’s self-esteem slowly improved.
NURSING DIAGNOSIS GOALS
NURSING INTERVENTION EVALUATION
Anxiety due to growth of the polyps
Patient will verbalize less anxiety
-Administer an anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce the polyps as prescribed by doctor.
-Provide patient an information about nasal polyps.
-Let patient express his feeling regarding the disease.
Patient verbalized less anxiety
NURSING DIAGNOSIS GOALS
NURSING INTERVENTION EVALUATION
Risk for bleeding related to patient nose care.
Prevent from bleeding.
-advise patient not to digging his nose or blowing too hard because it will cause trauma/ bleeding.
Bleeding prevented.
Nursing Diagnosis
Goals Nursing intervention
Evaluation
Pain related to the surgery.
Patient will verbalize less pain
-administer patient an analgesic drug such as tramadol and voltaren according to doctor’s order.
- Assess patient’s pain with pain scale
Patient verbalized less pain.
Health education
Advise patient to compliant with medication given and not to take herbs that are not recommended by doctor.
Follow up review~ condition of the nasal cavity after
surgery done.~detect any infection or
inflammation.
Avoid any irritants that can develop back the nasal polyps such as dust, infection, etc.
Advice patient not to injured to the surgery area such as..
~digging~blowing

It caused by many triggering such as viral and bacterial infections, allergies, and fungus.
Nasal polyps are commonly developed in adult.
The common causes of nasal polyp are aspirin sensitivity, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and allergic fungal infection.
Nasal polyps can manifest complications such as chronic sinus infection, bleeding, altered facial structures and others.
Nasal polyps can return after surgery.
