At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, we offer Balloon Sinuplasty as a gentle, effective, and minimally invasive solution for patients suffering from chronic sinusitis. This innovative technique helps relieve sinus blockages without cutting or removing bone or tissue, promoting quicker recovery and long-lasting symptom relief.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Balloon Sinuplasty involves the insertion of a small, flexible balloon catheter into the blocked sinus passages. Once in place, the balloon is gently inflated to widen the sinus openings, allowing for better drainage and ventilation. This technique is ideal for patients who have not found relief with medication or other non-surgical treatments.

ANESTHESIA & PREPARATION

The procedure can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition and preferences. Preoperative evaluation includes a detailed nasal examination, CT scan, and endoscopy to assess sinus anatomy and confirm diagnosis.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Using endoscopic guidance, the surgeon navigates the balloon catheter into the sinus ostium. After inflation, the balloon restructures and enlarges the sinus opening without causing damage to surrounding tissues. The balloon is then deflated and removed, leaving the sinus passage open for normal drainage.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE APPROACHES

Balloon Sinuplasty avoids traditional cutting or removal of tissue, making it less painful and reducing recovery time significantly. Most patients experience immediate relief from symptoms such as nasal congestion, facial pressure, and recurrent sinus infections.

CLOSURE & RECOVERY

There are no external incisions, stitches, or significant bleeding. Patients are typically discharged the same day and can return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. Nasal irrigation and medications may be prescribed to support healing.

POST-SURGICAL CARE

Follow-up appointments ensure the sinuses remain open and free of infection. Patients are educated on nasal care routines to maintain long-term sinus health and prevent recurrence.

At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, Balloon Sinuplasty is a safe and effective option for managing chronic sinusitis. With our expert ENT surgeons and state-of-the-art technology, we provide relief with minimal discomfort, allowing patients to breathe easier and enjoy a better quality of life.
