Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri has established a Sinus and Snoring Center featuring advanced balloon technology, also known as balloon sinuplasty, to treat sinusitis. Sinusitis is inflammation of the tissues lining the sinuses—air-filled spaces within the face. This condition causes symptoms such as facial pain, nasal congestion or runny nose, snoring, and sometimes fever along with other symptoms.
In addition to its cutting-edge balloon technology, the Sinus and Snoring Center at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri is supported by an experienced Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist with an international educational background.

Balloon Technology at the Sinus and Snoring Center
Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive procedure for treating sinusitis, especially chronic sinusitis.
During this procedure, a small balloon is carefully inserted into the sinus cavity and slowly inflated. As the balloon expands, it opens up the sinus passages, allowing trapped mucus to drain more easily.
Before starting balloon sinuplasty, the patient will be given either general anesthesia or conscious sedation, depending on their condition. Conscious sedation blocks pain while allowing the patient to remain awake during the procedure.
The steps of the procedure typically include:
- Applying a topical decongestant inside the nose to reduce potential bleeding.
- Injecting local anesthesia into the nasal tissues.
- Using an endoscope (a thin tube with a light at the end) to insert a catheter through the nostril.
- Guiding a small balloon through the catheter to the sinus cavity.
- Gradually inflating the balloon to gently open the blocked sinus.
- Deflating and removing the balloon (this step may be repeated if needed).
Balloon sinuplasty is generally painless, and most patients report feeling only mild pressure in the nasal area during the procedure.
Afterward, some patients may experience slight discomfort, which can be relieved with over-the-counter pain medication. The doctor will advise on which medications are safe and which should be avoided during recovery.
