How Balloon Sinuplasty is performed
When anatomical conditions are suitable, a disposable balloon catheter can be used for dilation. Typically, under general anesthesia or sedation, the guidewire and balloon are advanced to the area of the sinus ostium to be treated under direct endoscopic vision or with imaging assistance, and the bony passage is slowly dilated with pressure, preserving the mucosa and structures to improve drainage; irrigation and secretion removal can be combined if applicable. Postoperative observation includes bleeding and pain, with irrigation guidance, with the goal of improving ventilation and reducing infection episodes. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
