Better and faster method to clear
sinus problem
Sinus sufferers can now opt for a new method which
reduces their typical hospital stay from 4 days
to half a day. FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus
Surgery) also does away with major cuts on the face.
It makes use of a thin tube (endoscope) to remove
the nose blockage, by inserting the endoscope into
the nose. The scope has a light source and camera,
and gives a clear view of the nasal cavities. Dr
Ralph Stanley of SGH points out that this minimally
invasive method also boasts of faster recovery.

耳鼻喉医学领域成就突破
鼻窦炎手术不必割脸了
原先需要割脸或割牙床才能进行的鼻窦炎手术现在已能直接由鼻孔内施行，即可当天出院。这是耳鼻喉医学在九十年代最突破性的进跃。由鼻孔内施行手术不留疤痕，成效也很好，但此类手术必须由技术精确，富有临床经验的医生实施。

SGH offers screening for nose cancer
The first screening programme for nose cancer is
now available in Singapore at the Health Screening
Centre of SGH. Dr Ralph Stanley, head and senior
consultant, explained that the screening will cost
$200. There will be an examination by a specialist,
an endoscopy, a blood test and counselling. During
the endoscopy, a tube-like instrument will be inserted
through the nose to examine the nasopharynx (cavity
at the back of the nose). The blood test will determine
the presence of antibodies which are strongly associated
with nose cancer. Dr Stanley recommends the screening
for the high-risk group - Chinese men over 30 years
of age.
