Welcome

The Manchester Sinus Centre was established in 2008 at the University of Manchester within the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery.

The Manchester Sinus Centre was developed to be a centre of excellence for the treatment and study of nasal and sinus disorders, as well as the extended applications of endoscopic sinus surgery.

Using state-of-the-art technology and the most modern instrumentation, your nasal and sinus disease will be diagnosed and managed by an expert in his field of surgery.

At the Manchester Sinus Centre, we care for the health of your nose and sinuses. This is achieved:

• By providing comprehensive care for patients with sinus and nasal disease, including improvements in the cosmetic appearance of your nose (rhinoplasty)
• By conducting clinical and basic science research to better understand these diseases
• Through the education of patients, trainee surgeons and doctors, and other healthcare professionals

Most surgery is performed using minimally-invasive techniques, as a day case procedure, and without nasal packing. For patients that have previously had more than one sinus operation, the surgeon uses his expertise in stereotactic image-guidance technology to plan and perform surgery.

This website is an up-to-date resource for common conditions of the nose and sinuses, and advice after ENT operations. It can be used by patients, general practitioners and trainees in the field of ENT surgery.

We regret that medical advice cannot be provided outside the context of a consultation, and NHS referrals can only be made through a General Practitioner.
