Balloon Sinuplasty is a technique created to resolve chronic sinus inflammation with minimal invasion. It addresses the main issue behind congestion by gently expanding the natural drainage pathways of your sinuses. This action restores correct airflow and drainage, effectively clearing the sinus cavities.
The procedure uses a thin, flexible catheter equipped with a small balloon, eliminating any need for surgical cutting or tissue removal.
The Balloon Sinuplasty procedure is usually completed right in our office, often with just local anesthesia. A thin, flexible catheter is gently guided through the nasal passage to the blocked sinus opening. The attached balloon is then carefully inflated to widen the sinus passageway. Once the channel is successfully opened, the balloon is deflated and withdrawn. The procedure is typically quick and well-tolerated.
