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.

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.
