Ask Super Doctors
Dr. Marc R. Dean, MD (Doctor Profile)
Question: I suffer from chronic sinusitis, and medications haven't made much of a difference. I have been told I need sinus surgery, but I have heard horror stories and am hesitant to undergo the procedure - are there any other options?
Answer: Recent studies have shown Ballon Sinuplasty to be an effective alternative to traditional sinus surgery. With Ballon Sinuplasty, doctors are able to open inflamed sinuses in the same way that heart surgeons open up blocked arteries. Unlike conventional sinus surgery, this minimally invasive procedure is performed in the office under mild sedation and does not involved any cutting or removal of tissue from the nose. It also allows patients to return to normal activities quickly, usually within two days.
