Balloon Sinus Dilation
The Balloon Sinus Dilation is an advanced surgical procedure approved in India by Indian DGHS and Europian CE mark approved product. Balloon sinus dilation uses a precise single use flexible balloon catheter to open inflamed sinuses. The balloon catheter is placed into the sinus to reach the inflamed sinuses and gently inflated to restructure the previously blocked nasal passage.
The Balloon Sinus Dilation preserves the normal anatomy of the sinuses and mucosal tissue, and does not require the removal of bone and tissue – this approach helps restore normal sinus functioning. FESS involves removal of bone and tissue and the recurrence rates are high.
Since the disease state is minimal, it’s not required to perform extensive procedure as no major abnormalities are associated with the disease.
The patient has understood the pros and cons of both the procedure and has opted for sinuplasty which has been the standard of care in many countries today.
