welcome to the club my friend, i have had two surgeries in the past two years and have scheduled another for this july!. I had to pay out of pocket last time and it cost around two thousand dollars give or take and i think that was discounted due to my mother being an executive at blue cross and knowing some doctor's who would work for cost only!. If i were in your shoes i would go ahead and get insurance b/c the polyps will more than likely come back and you'll need to start treatment earlier to avoid the pressure and runny nose that makes you want to cut your nose off!. At least thats how it makes me feel!. So good luck and watch out for that nasty word "pre-existing condition"Www@Answer-Health@Com
Cost of nasal surgery will vary with different countries and with different hospitals!.
Within India also cost vary considerably depending upon extent of disease, type of hospital(Charitable ,small day-care centers or big corporate hospitals) plus here cost varies with type of the room in the hospital you opt for!.
Nasal-polyps are removed endoscopically along with clearing of diseased area of sinuses called Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (or FESS)!.
Polyps are known to recover,so to maximize long term results proper preparation of patient should be done with antibiotics and steroid nasal sprays for 10 days, then CT scanning is done to know extent of sinus involvement as well as to plan extent of surgery!.
Breathing is a priority so you should go ahead with surgery!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
