Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) Surgeon
DISE is generally a safe procedure. As with any test involving sedation, there are some potential risks, including:
- Mild sore throat or nasal discomfort (common, temporary)
- Nasal bleeding (very rare)
- Allergic reaction to sedation (rare)
- Temporary breathing difficulties during sedation (very rare, and managed by the anaesthetic team)
The procedure is performed with close monitoring by a qualified anaesthetist to ensure your comfort and safety.
