Dr. Shailesh Khode

Dr. Shailesh Khode is a Consultant Otolaryngologist with extensive experience in the assessment and management of sinus disease, nasal obstruction, nasal polyps, and other conditions affecting the nose and paranasal sinuses.

His clinical practice includes endoscopic and minimally invasive ENT procedures, with an individualized approach to patients experiencing persistent or recurrent sinus symptoms.

Dr. Shailesh Khode is an experienced ENT surgeon whose clinical practice covers a broad range of ear, nose, throat, sinus, and upper-airway conditions.

Within sinus care, his areas of practice include the evaluation and management of chronic sinusitis, recurrent sinus infections, nasal polyps, nasal obstruction, deviated nasal septum, enlarged turbinates, and related sinonasal conditions.

His surgical practice includes endoscopic techniques that allow affected areas of the nose and sinuses to be visualized and treated through the nasal passages.

Treatment recommendations are based on the individual patient’s symptoms, clinical examination, endoscopic findings, imaging where required, previous treatment history, and the extent of sinus disease.

His broader ENT experience also includes minimally invasive ENT surgery, upper-airway disorders, snoring and sleep-related breathing conditions, and head and neck conditions.

Advanced Sinus Surgery Innovations

Persistent sinus symptoms can result from a combination of inflammation, narrowed sinus drainage pathways, nasal polyps, structural abnormalities, or recurrent disease.

For patients whose symptoms continue despite appropriate medical management, further investigation may help determine whether an endoscopic surgical approach should be considered.

Β 

Dr. Shailesh Khode evaluates patients with chronic and recurrent sinus disease and provides surgical management where clinically appropriate.

Β 

Endoscopic sinus surgery is performed through the nasal passages using specialized endoscopic instruments, allowing the affected sinus areas to be accessed while preserving healthy surrounding structures whenever possible.

Β 

The extent of surgery varies according to the patient’s anatomy, diagnosis, previous treatment, and severity of disease.

A Long-Term Approach to Sinus Care

Sinus treatment should not focus only on temporary symptom relief.

Chronic sinus disease may involve ongoing inflammation, impaired sinus drainage, nasal polyps, structural narrowing, or changes following previous treatment.

The Resolved Sinus approach focuses on understanding the underlying factors contributing to persistent or recurrent disease and developing an individualized treatment pathway.

When surgery is required, the objective is to improve access, drainage, and ventilation of the affected sinus cavities while creating conditions that support ongoing postoperative management.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    When should chronic sinusitis be evaluated by an ENT specialist?

    Persistent nasal blockage, nasal discharge, facial pressure, reduced sense of smell, or recurrent episodes of sinusitis may warrant specialist assessment, particularly when symptoms continue despite appropriate medical treatment.

    No.
    Many patients can be managed with medical treatment. Surgery is considered only when clinically appropriate based on symptoms, examination findings, imaging, previous treatment, and the underlying cause of the sinus condition.

    Endoscopic sinus surgery is performed through the nasal passages using an endoscope and specialized instruments.
    The procedure allows the surgeon to access affected sinus areas without routine external facial incisions.

    Surgery may be considered for selected patients whose symptoms persist despite appropriate medical management or when structural obstruction, nasal polyps, or chronic sinus disease requires surgical treatment.

    Yes.
    When surgical treatment is appropriate, nasal polyps can often be removed using endoscopic techniques through the nasal passages.
    Ongoing management may still be required because nasal polyps can be associated with chronic inflammatory disease.

    Sinus surgery addresses diseased or obstructed sinus pathways.
    Septoplasty is performed to correct a deviated nasal septum that may contribute to nasal breathing difficulties.
    Some patients may require treatment for both conditions depending on their clinical findings.

    Yes.
    The nasal turbinates help regulate airflow through the nose. When enlarged, they may contribute to nasal obstruction.
    Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve medical management or turbinate reduction when clinically appropriate.

    Yes.
    Patients experiencing persistent or recurrent symptoms after previous sinus surgery can be reassessed to determine whether inflammation, scar formation, recurrent polyps, structural narrowing, or another factor may be contributing to their symptoms.
