Discover the future of sinus care with TruDi, an advanced navigation system that uses electromagnetic imaging to enhance minimally invasive procedures. This technology empowers our ENT specialists to accurately map your sinus anatomy in real time, ensuring each procedure is performed safely and effectively.
For those seeking long-term relief from chronic sinus conditions, SoCal ENT offers a refined approach—combining expertise, innovation, and compassionate care for optimal results.
At the Southern California Center for Ear, Nose, Throat, and Allergy (SoCal ENT), we’re proud to be the first practice on the West Coast to bring TruDi navigation technology directly to our patients.
Led by Dr. Geoffrey Trenkle, the only West Coast preceptor for TruDi, our team delivers unmatched precision and safety in minimally invasive sinus care. Dr. Trenkle has personally trained physicians across the region in this advanced image-guided system, ensuring every procedure meets the highest standards of accuracy and patient comfort.
TruDi Navigation is an advanced electromagnetic image-guided system that brings a new level of accuracy and safety to minimally invasive sinus procedures. Using real-time 3D mapping, this technology allows ENT specialists to visualize the sinus anatomy with remarkable precision, ensuring each treatment is both targeted and gentle.
When used in conjunction with procedures such as balloon sinuplasty or endoscopic sinus surgery, TruDi enhances surgical precision while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissue. Its micro-sensor tracking technology enables smoother navigation within delicate sinus pathways—helping patients achieve faster recovery, fewer complications, and lasting relief.
TruDi technology elevates sinus care by combining precision, safety, and comfort into one streamlined experience. Patients benefit from:

TruDi-guided procedures redefine sinus treatment—offering the precision of advanced navigation with the ease and comfort of in-office care.
TruDi’s real-time 3D mapping brings a new level of precision and safety to minimally invasive sinus procedures. By guiding each step with advanced imaging, this technology helps reduce risk, shorten recovery, and deliver more predictable results.
This gentle, in-office procedure uses a flexible balloon to open blocked sinus passages and restore natural drainage. With TruDi’s navigation system, our specialists can position the balloon with pinpoint accuracy—maximizing results while minimizing tissue disruption and discomfort.
For patients with chronic sinus infections, nasal polyps, or structural obstructions, TruDi-assisted ESS offers enhanced control and safety. The system provides real-time visualization of delicate sinus structures, allowing our surgeons to remove blockages with exceptional precision and care.
With the aid of TruDi navigation, our ENT specialists can precisely target and reduce excess turbinate tissue while preserving the surrounding healthy structures. This advanced approach enhances airflow, relieves congestion, and promotes comfortable breathing—all with minimal downtime and a quicker return to normal activities.
A TruDi-guided sinus procedure at SoCal ENT is designed for precision, comfort, and efficiency. After applying a gentle local anesthetic, your ENT specialist uses TruDi’s real-time 3D navigation system to map your sinus anatomy and guide treatment with exceptional accuracy.
Whether performed as part of balloon sinuplasty or endoscopic sinus surgery, this technology allows our team to open blocked sinus pathways while protecting delicate tissues. Most treatments take just 30–45 minutes, and patients typically notice easier breathing right away.
Because TruDi requires no large incisions or extensive tissue removal, discomfort is minimal and recovery is swift. You’ll leave knowing your care was guided by one of the most advanced navigation systems available—delivering precise, lasting relief.
TruDi offers precise sinus procedure navigation through real-time electromagnetic imaging, crafting a detailed 3D sinus map for enhanced accuracy.
The procedure uses local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort for most patients.
TruDi-assisted sinus procedures typically last between 30 to 45 minutes, with duration varying based on the condition's complexity.
Patients often feel better right away, with complete effects becoming evident in the following weeks.
Patients typically return to their usual routines in just 1-2 days.
TruDi-assisted procedures provide lasting relief, enabling patients to enjoy improved breathing for years.
