Ballon Sinuplasty Specialists in Jasper, GA

Chronic Sinusitis is a sinus infection that persists after several courses of antibiotics, steroid nasal sprays, and nasal saline irrigations. When sinusitis becomes unresponsive to medications, often it’s because the sinus drainage is partially or totally blocked, creating a pocket of infection in the sinuses that will not respond to medications.A thorough history and physical exam with a CT scan will identify the exact cause and site of the infection.

For mild to moderate infections, balloon sinuplasty may offer the best treatment. This technology uses a balloon, similar to a cardiac angioplasty, to permanently dilate the sinus openings that are blocked. This re-establishes drainage to the sinuses and resolves the infection. This procedure is done in-office with IV sedation and takes about an hour.

Patients can generally return to work in 1-2 days and only require over the counter pain medications. Some mild nasal drainage may persist for a week as the sinuses heal. Scientific studies have confirmed that balloon sinuplasty is as effective as surgery done in the hospital, however, takes less time to heal with less post-operative discomfort.
