Surgeries for Allergic Rhinitis & ENT Surgeries Doctor in South Mumbai (Marine Lines, Churchgate)

When medications and nasal sprays are no longer enough to open your nasal airway: While Allergic Rhinitis is primarily an immune system condition, long-standing allergic inflammation frequently creates permanent structural damages inside the nasal cavity—such as chronically enlarged turbinates, nasal polyps, blocked sinus passages, or a deviated nasal septum[cite: 1].

At the ENT Allergy Clinic in South Mumbai, senior ENT surgeon Dr. Rajeev Nerurkar performs advanced, minimally invasive ENT surgeries for Allergic Rhinitis at Bombay Hospital, Marine Lines (easily accessible from Churchgate, Nariman Point, and Girgaon)[cite: 1]. Surgery opens physical nasal blockages to restore free breathing, and is combined with Allergen Immunotherapy for complete long-term control[cite: 3].

When is ENT Surgery Advised for Allergic Rhinitis?

An evaluation with an ENT surgeon in Marine Lines is recommended if you experience:

• Severe Nasal Blockage: Persistent airway obstruction that shows no improvement despite 3 months of strict medical therapy.

• Permanently Enlarged Turbinates: Swollen inferior turbinates that do not shrink with corticosteroid nasal sprays.

• Chronic Allergic Sinusitis & Polyps: Recurrent sinus pressure, grape-like nasal polyps, or complete loss of smell.

• Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS): Structural crookedness in the nasal cartilage combined with allergic mucosal swelling.

• Decongestant Spray Addiction: Chronic dependency on OTC decongestant drops (e.g., Otrivin) for longer than 15 consecutive days.

Advanced ENT Surgeries We Perform at Bombay Hospital

1. Radiofrequency / Coblation Turbinate Reduction (Turbinoplasty)

The most common surgery for allergic rhinitis[cite: 4]. Using Radiofrequency, Coblation, or Microdebrider-assisted techniques, we shrink permanently swollen turbinates without external incisions or painful nose packing[cite: 4]. It is a 15–20 minute daycare procedure offering immediate breathing relief[cite: 4].

2. Posterior Nasal Neurectomy / Vidian Neurectomy

A cutting-edge endoscopic procedure for severe allergy sufferers experiencing unrelenting sneezing and clear watery rhinorrhea[cite: 4]. By precisely severing hyperactive nasal nerve fibers under HD endoscopic guidance, sneezing and watery discharge are reduced by up to 80%[cite: 4].

3. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) & Nasal Polypectomy

Used to treat chronic allergic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps[cite: 3]. Utilizing 4K HD Endoscopy, we remove soft tissue polyps and open natural sinus drainage pathways to eliminate sinus headaches and restore smell[cite: 4].

4. Septoplasty for Deviated Septum

Surgically straightens a crooked nasal septum to balance airflow and maximize the penetration and effectiveness of prescribed nasal sprays[cite: 4].

Why Choose Dr. Rajeev Nerurkar for ENT Surgeries in South Mumbai?

• Minimally Invasive Technologies: 4K HD Endoscopy, Coblation, and Radiofrequency ensure bloodless, virtually painless procedures with dissolvable or no nose packing[cite: 4].

• Day-Care Convenience: Most procedures allow same-day discharge with rapid recovery and return to work within 2–3 days[cite: 4].

• Dual Expertise (Surgery + Immunotherapy): Treating both structural damage through surgery and underlying immune sensitivity through post-surgical Allergen Immunotherapy to prevent polyp or turbinate recurrence[cite: 3, 4].

Important Clarification: ENT surgery opens blocked breathing passages but does not alter your underlying allergic reactivity[cite: 4]. To prevent polyps or turbinate swelling from returning, post-operative Allergy Testing and Immunotherapy are recommended[cite: 3, 4].
