The latest treatment for sinusitis
For those who suffer from the headaches, congestion, fatigue, and other
symptoms of sinusitis, Balloon Sinuplasty offers a safe, minimally invasive
option to alleviate symptoms. During the procedure, small, flexible devices
are inserted into the nostrils to gently open blocked sinus openings —
in many cases without tissue or bone removal. The procedure offers several
benefits, including:
-
Reduced bleeding – Since often there is no need to remove tissue or bone, there is
less bleeding and a reduced need for uncomfortable nasal packing.
-
Quicker recovery – While recovery time varies for each individual, many people can
return to normal activities within 24 hours.
-
Does not limit other options – Balloon Sinuplasty can be used with other medical therapies or
sinus surgery techniques, and does not limit future treatment options
for those with progressive disease.
