A New Revolution to Help Chronic Sinusitis Sufferers



Patients who are seeking relief from chronic sinus issues may be able to take advantage of a safe, FDA approved option that is showing results. This procedure draws from the same technology used to treat cardiac patients, and can be utilized in a doctor’s office setting.

Balloon sinuplasty involves using a balloon to displace the bones in the sinuses. By widening the sinus passages, better drainage can be promoted, giving patients relief.
Some of the benefits include:

·         Local Anesthetic—this broadens the number of patients who might be eligible for the procedure, including those who cannot be under a general anesthetic.
·         Short Recovery Times— This procedure offers shorter recovery times than some sinus procedures. This enables the patient to get back to their normal routine in a day or two.
·         Comfort— The procedure is performed in a doctor’s office and not a hospital, helping patients avoid some of the anxiety.
·         Patient Satisfaction— Many patients who have undergone the procedure would recommend it to family and friends.
·         Lower Cost— The procedure may offer lower out-of-pocket balloon sinuplasty cost for many patients because of the lower cost-of-care since the procedure is performed in a doctor’s office.
