Balloon Sinus Surgery
For many years, the only options available for those with severe sinusitis were medication or sinus surgery. A newer technique called balloon dilation sinuplasty or balloon sinus surgery is a viable sinus and breathing enhancement treatment for those who suffer from chronic sinus problems and infections that do not respond to medications. In many cases, this procedure can cure the cause of severe sinus problems with a quick, outpatient procedure.
Balloon sinus surgery is performed by inserting balloons into the sinus passages, using the inflation of these balloons to open and reform the sinus pathways. This can give relief, offering easier drainage for those whose sinus pathways have become closed or blocked. Once drainage is improved, many sufferers of severe sinusitis and infections are free of sinus problems, without the need for invasive surgery.

Septoplasty is commonly performed simultaneously with sinus surgery. A deviated septum can cause nasal obstruction or sinus drainage pathway blockage. Cosmetic rhinoplasty or nasal fracture repair can be safely combined with sinus surgery.
