Private Nasal Polypectomy in Sutton Coldfield
Endoscopic nasal polypectomy for nasal polyps causing obstruction, loss of smell and chronic sinusitis. Same-week ENT consultant. Published price from £2,200.
What is nasal polypectomy?
Nasal polyps are soft, non-cancerous growths that form on the lining of the nose or sinuses, typically as a result of chronic inflammation. They are a common condition, affecting approximately 4% of adults, and are particularly associated with asthma, aspirin sensitivity, and allergic rhinitis.
Nasal polypectomy is the surgical removal of these growths, performed endoscopically — using a small telescope and suction device inserted through the nostrils, with no external incisions. The procedure is usually performed in conjunction with functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) to improve sinus drainage and reduce recurrence.

What happens at The Vesey
From your first consultation to discharge — here is what to expect at every stage.
ENT consultant assessment
Nasal endoscopy to assess polyp extent, and CT sinuses if FESS is being considered alongside polypectomy.
Pre-operative preparation
Short course of oral steroids may be prescribed before surgery to reduce polyp size.
Endoscopic polypectomy
Under general anaesthesia, a nasal endoscope is inserted and the polyps are removed using a microdebrider. FESS is often performed simultaneously.
Recovery
Nasal packs for 24–48 hours. Nasal saline irrigation begins the day after surgery.
Recovery — what to expect
Nasal congestion and discharge for 2–4 weeks. Smell improvement may be gradual. Oral steroids are often prescribed post-operatively. Return to work within 1–2 weeks.
Your consultant will provide you with a personalised recovery plan at your assessment appointment, based on your individual procedure, health status, and activity requirements.
