Unlike traditional sinus surgery, Balloon Sinuplasty requires no cutting and no removal of bone and tissue. Balloon sinus dilation is a minimal invasive technique that allows to have treatment performed under local anaesthetic.
Aims of balloon sinus dilation are:
Balloon Sinuplasty (BSP) uses a small, flexible, balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways and facilitate drainage of the mucus that builds up in patients suffering from chronic sinusitis symptoms.
When the sinus balloon is inflated, it restructures and widens the walls of the sinus passageway while maintaining the integrity of the sinus lining.
Once the correct position is confirmed, the balloon is inflated to high pressures to stretch the narrow channels.
The whole procedure takes only a few minutes, and patients should only feel slight discomfort when the balloon is inflated.
Patients are often able to return to work and normal activity more quickly as they have avoided general anaesthetic.
