Balloon Sinuplasty is a minimally invasive, surgical procedure recommended for patients suffering with chronic sinusitis. This procedure is ideal for the 20 percent of patients with chronic sinusitis that have tried traditional treatments (such as decongestants and\/or antibiotics) with no results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Balloon Sinuplasty Different? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While surgical options for treating sinusitis have been\naround for years, they typically focus on removing bone and tissue in order to\nclear the blocked sinuses and improve drainage. As with any surgery, there are\nrisks and pain and scarring are common in the lengthy recovery period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In comparison, Balloon Sinuplasty is quick (the average\noperating time is 73 minutes) and relatively painless, and has a lower risk of\ncomplications or side effects. It is FDA-approved and considered a safe\nalternative to endoscopic sinus surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Balloon Sinuplasty Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A small, flexible balloon is inserted into the blocked sinus\nthrough the nose. Once inserted, the balloon is inflated, thus opening up the\nblocked sinus. Saline is then sprayed into the sinus through the newly expanded\nopening to clean out any mucus or fluid buildup. Finally, the balloon is\nremoved, leaving a clean and open sinus behind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This procedure is able to widen the previously blocked sinus\nwithout having to cut into the bone or remove any of the lining, which can\ndamage the integrity of the sinus.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Balloon Sinuplasty Safe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Balloon Sinuplasty has been available since 2005 and in the last 15 years, 535,000 patients have used it as a treatment for their chronic sinusitis. The procedure is simple enough that it can be performed in the doctor\u2019s office under general anesthesia, instead of in a hospital\u2019s operating room. A short recovery period enables patients to resume normal activates after only two days. While results vary between all individuals, most still reported symptom improvement two years after the procedure. <\/p>\n\n\n
