What Is Balloon Sinuplasty?
Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat sinusitis, including chronic sinusitis. During this treatment, a small balloon is carefully inserted into the blocked sinus passage and gently inflated. This helps to widen the sinus opening, allowing trapped mucus to drain more easily and improving airflow.
Depending on the patient’s condition, either general anesthesia or conscious sedation (local anesthesia) is administered before the procedure.
Balloon Sinuplasty Procedure Steps
Here’s a step-by-step overview of the balloon sinuplasty procedure:
-
A topical decongestant is applied inside the nose to help reduce potential bleeding.
-
Local anesthesia is injected into the nasal tissues to minimize discomfort.
-
A thin catheter is inserted through the nostril using an endoscope (a small tube with a light).
-
A tiny balloon is guided into the sinus cavity through the catheter.
-
The balloon is slowly inflated to gently open the sinus passage.
-
The balloon is deflated and removed; this process can be repeated for other blocked sinuses if needed.
The procedure is generally painless. Most patients report only mild pressure or discomfort in the nose during the treatment.
Post-Procedure Recovery
After the procedure, some patients may experience mild nasal discomfort. This can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. The doctor will also provide guidance on which medications are safe to take during the recovery period and which ones to avoid.
