Balloon Sinuplasty: A New Treatment Option for Sinusitis

     If you are experiencing symptoms of sinusitis, such as nasal congestion, headaches, runny nose, or discomfort due to sinus blockage, Balloon Sinuplasty may be an appropriate treatment option for you.

What Is Balloon Sinuplasty?

     Balloon Sinuplasty is a medical technique that utilizes a small balloon to expand blocked sinus passages. This procedure enables improved drainage of fluids and enhanced air circulation, thereby reducing inflammation and effectively relieving symptoms, without the need for major surgery.

Benefits of Balloon Sinuplasty

• Minimally invasive, with no tissue removal, thereby reducing risks and complications
• Quick recovery, with most patients resuming normal activities within 24–48 hours
• Decreased reliance on antibiotics and steroids

Treatment Procedure

• A small balloon is inserted into the sinus cavity through the nostril.
• The balloon is inflated to expand the sinus passage, allowing better airflow gently.
• The balloon is then removed, leaving the passage open to enable normal drainage of air and fluids.

Who Is a Candidate for Balloon Sinuplasty?

• Individuals with sinusitis caused by blocked sinus passages
• Those seeking symptom relief without undergoing major surgery
• Patients experiencing chronic nasal congestion, frequent sinus infections, or sinus-related headaches
