Introduction
Balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive ENT procedure used to treat chronic sinusitis by gently opening blocked sinus pathways without cutting or removing tissue.
Using a small balloon catheter, the natural sinus openings are dilated to restore normal drainage and ventilation, helping relieve pressure, congestion, and recurrent infections.
Unlike traditional sinus surgery, balloon sinuplasty preserves normal sinus anatomy and typically involves faster recovery and less discomfort.
