Moe: Well; I've got to hand it to you, Homer - you're really
brave to go through with this operation.

Homer: It's not an operation, Moe. The doctor said it's just a
procedure.

Moe: No, no, no, no, making polenta, now that's a procedure.
We're talking about deadly life threatening surgery here.

Not this one but in my time I have had the endoscope put up every other orifice, really all of them , and if I were you I wouldn't worry about the one that you are having.

The ancient Egyptians used to pull the dead kings brain out through the nose during mummification. Sounds pretty similar to me.

Wouldn't worry mate - sounds like a very safe procedure and actually better than normal sinus surgery. Less than half of one-percent chance of complications is statistically insignificant.
