Treatments
Balloon SinuplastyBalloon Sinuplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that is used to treat chronic sinusitis. It is a safe and effective alternative to traditional sinus surgery, which can be more invasive and require a longer recovery time. During the procedure, a small balloon is inserted into the sinus cavity and inflated to widen the sinus passage, allowing for better drainage and improved breathing. Unlike traditional surgery, Balloon Sinuplasty can be performed in a doctor's office under local anesthesia, with most patients returning to their normal activities within a day or two.
The procedure itself involves several steps. After administering local anesthesia, the surgeon inserts a small endoscope into the patient's nostril, allowing them to see inside the sinus cavity. Next, a small guide wire is inserted through the endoscope and into the sinus cavity. A small balloon catheter is then threaded over the guide wire and into the blocked sinus cavity. Once the balloon is in place, it is inflated, which widens the sinus passage and allows for improved drainage. Finally, the balloon is deflated and removed, leaving the sinus passage open and allowing for improved breathing.
Balloon Sinuplasty offers a number of benefits over traditional sinus surgery. Because it is minimally invasive, it requires less downtime and can often be performed in a doctor's office. Patients also typically experience less pain and bleeding after the procedure, and most are able to return to their normal activities within a day or two. With a success rate of over 90%, Balloon Sinuplasty is a safe and effective option for those suffering from chronic sinusitis who are looking for a minimally invasive solution.
