Minimally Invasive Option – Balloon Sinuplasty

There are many breakthroughs and cutting edge treatments for treating chronic sinusitis such as an in-office procedure called Balloon Sinuplasty. This technology is an FDA-approved, endoscopic, catheter-based system for the relief from sinusitis. Balloon Sinuplasty technology uses a small, flexible, sinus balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways, restoring normal sinus drainage and function.

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Surgery is done when the symptoms can’t be controlled with medications and other treatments. The most common type of surgery for the sinuses is called Endoscopic Sinus Surgery. The purpose of the surgery is to widen the natural drainage pathways between the sinuses and the nose, allowing mucus to get out of the sinuses and air to get in. Medications that are delivered to the surface of the nose and sinuses, like sprays and irrigations, can get into the sinuses better after surgery as well.
