What is Balloon Sinuplasty?
Balloon Sinuplasty is an innovative ENT procedure that uses a small balloon catheter to gently open blocked sinus passages, restore airflow, and relieve sinus pressure. It is an outpatient treatment with minimal downtime, making it an ideal choice for patients with chronic sinusitis who do not respond to medications.
How Balloon Sinuplasty Works
During Balloon Sinuplasty, a thin catheter with a small balloon is inserted into the blocked sinus passage under local or general anesthesia. Once in place, the balloon is carefully inflated to widen the passage, allowing mucus and fluid to drain naturally. The balloon is then deflated and removed, leaving the sinus passages open. This gentle method avoids cutting or removing bone and tissue, which means faster recovery and reduced discomfort.
