Balloon Dilation Surgery
For patients suffering from the headaches, congestion, fatigue and other symptoms of sinusitis, balloon dilation surgery may be a minimally invasive option to alleviate symptoms. During the procedure, small, flexible devices are inserted into the nostrils to gently open blocked sinus openings — in many cases without tissue or bone removal. The procedure may offer patients several benefits, including:
- Reduced bleeding – Since often there is no need to remove tissue or bone, there is less bleeding and a reduced need for uncomfortable nasal packing.
- Quicker recovery – While recovery time varies for each individual, many people can return to normal activities within 24 hours.
- Does not limit other options – Balloon dilation surgery can be used with other medical therapies or sinus surgery techniques, and does not limit future treatment options for those with progressive disease.
