Chapter 3: Nasal and Sinus Problems and Solutions

This video describes some of the common problems encountered by the nasal cavity and sinuses including the common cold, sinusitis, sinus surgery, deviated nasal septum and septoplasty, turbinate reduction, balloon sinus surgery, and nasal packing.

I am a general surgeon and this animation is just amazing, not only in patient sided information, but in the anatomy and little details too! Very well done

I had deviated septum surgery several years ago and it made a world of difference in my life. Prior to the surgery, I always had sinusitis during the winter months and there were times when I had very serere sinus headaches. I am grateful to Dr. Schwartz of the Pittsburgh Children's Hospital for changing my life!

One of the best nasal, sinus videos on the Internet.

Damn, whoever segmented all those anatomic structures in such great detail is a pro! I worked as a programmer (computer vision specialist) on brain CT and MRI and nasal turbinates and sinuses were for some reason always fascinating to me and also really hard to segment, since they're made of pretty thin and delicate tissue that barely shows up. Thanks to this video I could finally see what I was struggling to understand years ago! Thank you!

No idea why Youtube would recommend this to me randomly, but damn I now feel so informed! What a great video.

Let us all pay some respect to the fellow participant who volunteered his face to be cut off and glued back multiple times so that we could see his sinuses. Bravo, senior 👏👏👏

Seeing this animation brings me to notice the fact the our bodies are a huge complicated system. Truly fascinating

Don't know why this was suggested to me or why I clicked on it. But it actually answered some questions I didn't realized that I had about my own sinus issues. Thanks YouTube algorithms

I had my Deviated Septum surgery at age 28 and was told I would no longer have Chronic daily Sinus headaches that would make my eyes close and water. After Surgery both Nostrils were packed with it seemed like MILES of string all tightly stuffed so tight and not being able to sleep with the packing try falling asleep with both nostrils blocked. The 3rd day when the packing came out in the office the Surgeon placed a pail for me to hold and when he gave the word after spending 15 minutes unraveling the string from each nostril I said “now, you’re going to feel like a Million Dollars” “Breathe deep when I say NOW and Keep Swallowing” I did feel like I was inhaling the world when he pulled the last of it out but I was swallowing the most disgusting grossest felt like Gallons of Mucus and clots going down my throat. Then the nostrils get scabbing up with tiny scabs many of them I had to keep going back to have them trimmed back. The sinus headaches returned by day 7 after the unpacking. I was so very discouraged. The ENT Promised me that was my Sinus issues. That was over 30 years ago and I still deal with the daily pain, and pressure.

Perhaps the scariest part during surgery is when they cut your head in half an pry your face open, but i'm sure anesthesia can work around that too!!!

THANK YOU SO

I TRYED TO FIND SUCH ANIMATED VIDEO FOR A LONG TIME!!!

ALL MY DOCTORS EXPLAINED THIS DISEASE ONLY BY WORDS. YOUR VIDEO IS A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY HOSPITAL!!!!

CHEERS FROM RUSSIA! 👍

This was great seeing the insides in context using the face as a mask. I had a septoplasty with turbinate reduction and SMD ( sub mucosal diathermy) but unfortunately my septum collapsed almost straight away post op and i ended up worse off. Sinus issues are not fun when they impact your quality of life greatly :(

I’m ENT doctor and I’m still fascinated while watching your educational videos. It’s excellent

[vacafuega]

Absolutely stunning in how much information is conveyed, and with what clarity... and also unforgettably horrifying - the disembodied head and shoulders sitting on the table, blinking... The head opening up like a cuckoo clock... With different music and narration this would make a great cinematic for a horror game!

[BardiXOfficial]

I would like to thank the patient for volunteering to have his face opened like a door

[Theoryofcatsndogs]

this is the most unsettling medical video I ever seen, even more than real surgical video. Especially I had 3 nasal surgeries before. Bit it is informative.

[matvei]

I must’ve cleared my nose about 50 times watching this. Happy to say, both my nostrils are working fine.

[ecovoycanada]

Very informative and well made, thanks! ...it would be nice to see in the next one the connection with the ear to better understand why sinus problems sometimes lead to earache.

[soilmanted]

Nice animated medical illustrations. I love how surgeons always "carefully" cut or "carefully" debride or "carefully" remove. Usually no-one says just cut, debride, or remove without prefixing it with carefully. Only only rarely to we hear of surgeons "carelessly" cutting, debriding, or removing something, but I'm reasonably certian they do that much more often than we hear about it.

[Tubeytime]

Amazing work, this deserves more recognition. These types of explanations are not only hard to come by, but hard to present as well.
