A Breakthrough in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Balloon Sinuplasty Technology is a novel, endoscopic, catheter-based system used as a tool by Dr. Smith to treat patients with chronic sinusitis. This FDA-cleared technology uses a small, flexible, sinus balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways, restoring normal sinus drainage. When the sinus balloon is inflated, it gently restructures and widens the walls of the passageway while maintaining the integrity of the sinus lining.
Balloon Sinuplasty is a safe and effective procedure for chronic sinusitis patients who are not responding well to medications and are seeking relief from uncomfortable and painful sinusitis symptoms.
If you have been diagnosed with chronic sinusitis and are not responding well to medication, you may be a candidate for sinus surgery. There is now a less invasive option used by our physicians to treat chronic sinusitis patients that is clinically proven to be safe, effective and improve the quality of your life.
Safe & Less Invasive
With Balloon Sinuplasty, there is no cutting of nasal bone or tissue. More than 250,000 patients suffering from chronic sinusitis have been treated by physicians using Balloon Sinuplasty technology.
Proven Effective
Most patients report clinically meaningful improvement in sinus symptoms and quality of life through 2 years following surgery.
Fast Recovery
While recovery time varies with each patient, recovery is typically fast. In a study of in-office balloon dilation, most patients returned to work and normal activity within 2 days.
Available in Office
Balloon Sinuplasty is now performed in our office under local anesthesia.
