What your ENT specialists in San Antonio want you to knowSinus Pain

If you suffer from sinus issues, you already know how annoying and uncomfortable they can be. You’ve probably tried over-the-counter medications, nasal rinses, and other products only to find your sinus issues coming back. You may want to think about a more permanent solution, sinus surgery! Your ear, nose, and throat specialists at Everyone’s ENT & Sinus Center in San Antonio, TX, wants to share how sinus surgery can help you.

Modern sinus surgery is quick, more comfortable and can get you back to living your life with minimal downtime. Thanks to modern, state-of-the-art technology and equipment, sinus surgery has become far less invasive, and far easier than ever before. These are just a few of the sinus conditions treated with sinus surgery:

  • Recurrent sinusitis or sinus headaches
  • Recurrent infections in your sinuses
  • Nasal polyps or other abnormal sinus growths
  • Fungal sinus disease
  • Abnormal nasal or sinus structures or obstructions

There are many different types of sinus surgery. Many are minimally invasive and are often performed on an outpatient basis. Consider:

Balloon sinuplasty, using an ultra-thin catheter with a balloon attached to the end. The catheter is inserted into your nostril and moved up through your nasal and sinus passages. When it reaches an obstruction, the balloon is inflated, which opens the blockage so you can breathe normally again. The balloon is then deflated and the catheter and balloon are taken out.

Endoscopic surgery, using a thin tube called an endoscope; the tube is inserted into your nostril and moved up through your nasal passages and sinuses. Endoscopic surgery is often used to remove nasal and sinus polyps and other abnormal sinus growths.

There are more serious sinus conditions that may need more extensive treatment. Open sinus surgery is often indicated for cases of sinus cancer, to remove diseased tissue, or to correct structural abnormalities in your nose or sinuses.

Sinus surgery can help you get relief from a variety of recurrent, chronic sinus problems. You deserve a life of breathing well, so just pick up the phone and call your ear, nose and throat specialists at Everyone’s ENT & Sinus Center in San Antonio, TX. Call today and breathe better tomorrow!
