This inflammation of the sinuses occurs when the sinus opening becomes blocked, preventing mucus from draining properly. It causes cold-like symptoms that include congestion, runny nose, sore throat, facial pain and swelling, loss of smell or taste, bad breath, fatigue and headache. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is most often caused by viral infections, but can also occur as a result of nasal polyps, a deviated septum or head trauma. Medical solutions work for some, but others continue to suffer despite numerous attempts using a variety of treatments. Balloon Sinuplasty may be the answer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Different About Balloon Sinuplasty? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Conventional sinus surgical procedures involve cutting and excision of bone and tissue, a process that may cause pain and scarring and requires a recovery period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In comparison, Balloon Sinuplasty is quick (the average operating time is 73 minutes) and relatively painless, and has a lower risk of complications or side effects. It is FDA-approved and considered a safe alternative to endoscopic sinus surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote purple is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>95% of patients report an improvement in their sinus symptoms after nine months.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is Balloon Sinuplasty Performed? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Balloon Sinuplasty is typically performed in an outpatient setting. You\u2019ll be given either a local or general anesthetic before a balloon catheter is inserted into your sinus cavity. The balloon is then inflated in order to enlarge the sinus opening and widen the walls of the nasal passages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A saline solution is sprayed into the cavity to flush out mucus and other debris; the catheter is then removed. The end result is open sinuses that enable normal breathing and drainage of fluids. Up to 95 percent of patients report a significant improvement in sinus symptoms following this procedure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Entellus Animation Video: Balloon Sinuplasty\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q8MMcfzN54E?feature=oembed&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in Balloon Sinuplasty, speak with your doctor or an ENT specialist.
