    I had 2 sinus surgeries. Let me tell you how that went. Doctor yeah no big deal just couple of adjustments. The day of surgery. Ok so here is a trash can for all the blood. I am going to give you 4 shots inside your nose. Now bend over trash can and let blood drain. Bend over and a waterfall of blood. After about 5-10 mins. He comes in and takes a metal chisel and starts adjusting my nose. I could hear the crunching sound and feel the pressure. Then he cuts some pieces out of my nose. About 2 months later it was back to prior surgery status. Next surgery was an inflatable balloon inside the nose cavity. Again I expected simple procedure. Damn if It wasn’t almost a repeat except this time the balloon was being inflated in nostril and I could hear crunching sounds. Same results nose said fuck off mate went back to normal.

    I had a sinus surgery for polyps. First off, thankfully, I was unconscious, and secondly, it was a near fully automated procedure. They did a CT scan of my sinuses, used it like a GPS map, and the machine just does its thing while being over seen by the surgeon.
