Balloon Sinuplasty Surgery in Dallas Fort Worth

DFW Sinus Select offers Balloon Sinuplasty (BSP), a minimally-invasive sinus surgery procedure that opens sinus passages to relieve sinus pain and sinus pressure associated with chronic sinusitis.

The Balloon Sinuplasty at DFW Sinus Select in Dallas requires no cutting and no removal of bone or tissue. During a Balloon Sinuplasty, our Dallas Fort Worth ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctors use a small, flexible balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways and facilitate drainage of the mucus that builds up in patients suffering from chronic sinusitis symptoms. When the sinus balloon is inflated, it restructures and widens the walls of the sinus passageway, while maintaining the integrity of the sinus lining.

There are 4 steps associated with this procedure:

• Step 1 – A balloon catheter is inserted into the inflamed sinus
• Step 2 – The balloon is inflated to expand the sinus opening
• Step 3 – Saline is sprayed into the inflamed sinus to flush out the pus and mucus
• Step 4 – The entire system is removed, leaving the sinuses open

WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR BALLOON SINUPLASTY?

You may be a good candidate for Balloon Sinuplasty if you are not responding well to medications and have had a sinus infection for more than 12 weeks, or have experienced four or more sinus infections each year.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BALLOON SINUPLASTY?

Benefits of Balloon Sinuplasty include:
