Enhanced Safety and Certainty

Sinus Procedures Assisted by TruDi Navigation

TruDi navigation enhances the precision and safety of your minimally invasive sinus procedures by providing real-time 3D mapping of your unique sinus anatomy. This advanced technology doesn't just guide the procedure—it fundamentally transforms it.

Balloon Sinuplasty

Balloon Sinuplasty is one of the most effective and popular treatments we offer at SoCal ENT Palmdale for patients suffering from chronic sinusitis and recurring congestion. This minimally invasive procedure uses a small, flexible balloon catheter to gently open and restructure blocked sinus passages. Once inflated, the balloon restores normal drainage and ventilation without cutting or major tissue removal.

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS)

For chronic sinus issues that require anatomical correction, Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) is the gold standard. This procedure is performed to effectively remove sinus blockages, polyps, or diseased tissue that are contributing to persistent and recurring infections.

Turbinate Reduction

Enlarged turbinates are a common cause of chronic nasal congestion and breathing difficulties, but we offer a precise solution: using TruDi navigation, our specialists can safely and accurately reduce the size of these tissues, effectively preserving healthy surrounding anatomy while significantly improving nasal airflow with minimal downtime.

Comfort, Precision, & Confidence

What to Expect During a TruDi-Assisted Procedure

When you undergo a TruDi-assisted sinus procedure at SoCal ENT Palmdale, you can expect a quick, precise, and minimally invasive experience designed for maximum comfort and effectiveness.

  • Maximum Comfort: The procedure begins with the application of a local anesthetic to ensure you remain completely comfortable.
  • Unparalleled Precision: Once numb, your ENT specialist uses the TruDi system, which delivers a real-time 3D map of your unique sinus anatomy. This guidance allows for the unparalleled precision needed to accurately place instruments, whether performing Balloon Sinuplasty or Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.
  • Minimal Disruption: The entire process typically takes only 30–45 minutes. Since TruDi eliminates the need for large incisions or extensive tissue removal, you'll experience minimal discomfort, a fast recovery, and often easier breathing almost immediately.

With this advanced technology, you can feel confident knowing your sinus treatment is performed with the highest level of accuracy, safety, and long-term success.
