Balloon Dilation of Sinuses |
Balloon Sinuplasty technology is an endoscopic, catheter-based system for patients suffering from sinusitis. The technology uses a small, flexible, balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways. When the sinus balloon is inflated, it attempts to restructure and widen the walls of the passageway while attempting to maintain the integrity of the sinus lining.
This is a new technology and there are studies underway to help sinus surgeons
understand its most appropriate place in the realm of sinus surgery. An experienced
sinus surgeon can evaluate your sinuses and CT scan to determine whether you
might be a candidate for such technology as a part of the management of your
sinusitis.
