Hi,

Thanks for writing in to us.

There are minimally invasive surgery procedures available nowadays.

Final decision of the ENT surgeon depends on the severity of symptoms being faced by you. If curative treatment is desired then surgery is the choice. If your symptoms can be managed with medical treatment then there is no immediate need for surgery.
