Sinusitis is an inflammatory condition of the sinus cavities that can cause a range of symptoms, including prolonged nasal congestion, facial pain or pressure, headaches, reduced sense of smell, and sleep disturbances such as snoring. In some cases, sinusitis may progress to a chronic condition that does not improve despite medication therapy.
In certain situations, doctors may recommend conventional sinus surgery to remove blockages and infected tissue. However, this method typically involves surgical incisions and a longer recovery period compared to minimally invasive procedures.
As a more modern alternative, Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri offers sinusitis treatment using Quantum Molecular Resonance (QMR) technology from Italy. This technology enables minimally invasive procedures with high precision, helping preserve healthy tissue surrounding the sinuses.

Understanding QMR Technology for Sinusitis
Quantum Molecular Resonance (QMR) is a minimally invasive medical technology used to address various causes of nasal obstruction, including enlargement of the nasal turbinates (concha). This condition is a common trigger of chronic sinusitis, as it interferes with airflow and sinus drainage.
QMR technology works by utilizing high-frequency electromagnetic waves to gently reduce problematic tissue. The process does not generate excessive heat, thereby minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
With its advanced technological approach, QMR-based sinus surgery offers greater patient comfort, faster recovery, and more optimal outcomes in sinusitis management.
How QMR Technology Works for Sinusitis
In general, sinus surgery using QMR technology is performed through the following steps:
- Performed by an ENT specialist, using local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure.
- Precise energy delivery, where a small probe-shaped device is inserted into the nasal cavity and directed at the enlarged turbinate tissue.
- Molecular resonance at the target tissue, achieved by emitting QMR energy at frequencies of approximately 4–64 MHz to break molecular bonds in a controlled manner.
- Tissue reduction without excessive heat, allowing the procedure to be performed without incisions and minimizing the risk of burns.
- Improved airflow and sinus drainage, as the nasal passages become more open after tissue reduction.
Advantages of Sinus Surgery with QMR Technology
The use of QMR technology in sinusitis treatment offers several key benefits, including:
- Minimal pain and bleeding due to the absence of high heat
- Shorter recovery time
- High precision with energy focused only on affected tissue
- No need for nasal packing
- Helps reduce sinusitis recurrence
ENT Specialist for Sinusitis at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri
QMR technology is one of the flagship services at the Integrated Sinus and Snoring Center of Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri. This center is designed to provide comprehensive care for patients with sinusitis, snoring, and sleep-related breathing disorders, supported by modern, minimally invasive medical technology.
These services are led by dr. Abdillah Hasbi Assadyk, Sp.THT-KL, an experienced ENT specialist who has completed intensive training in Italy with Prof. Lino Di Rienzo Businco, a world-renowned ENT expert. This experience serves as a strong foundation for delivering internationally standardized ENT care in Indonesia.
In addition to mastering QMR technology, dr. Abdillah is also experienced in treating various ENT conditions, including sleep apnea, snoring, sinusitis using balloon sinuplasty, and tonsillitis with plasma coblation technology, all of which are known for minimal pain and faster recovery.
Balloon Sinuplasty as an Alternative Treatment for Sinusitis
Besides QMR, balloon sinuplasty is another minimally invasive option for treating sinusitis without major surgery. In this procedure, a small balloon is inserted through the nose into the sinus cavity and gradually inflated to open blocked sinus passages. Once opened, mucus drainage improves and sinus pressure is reduced.
Advantages of balloon sinuplasty for sinusitis include:
- No incisions and no open surgery
- Lower risk of bleeding and complications
- Minimal pain during and after the procedure
- Faster recovery time
- Helps reduce long-term sinusitis recurrence
