How Sinus Balloon Dilation is performed
Balloon Sinuplasty (BSD) can be performed under local or general anesthesia. Under endoscopic guidance, a guide wire and expandable balloon are inserted into the natural opening of the target sinus. A common approach is to inject pressure to expand the channel to improve drainage, while preserving the mucosa and bony structures as much as possible; irrigation and secretion removal can be combined if necessary. Postoperative monitoring for bleeding and pain, and nasal cavity care are performed with the goal of restoring ventilation and drainage. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
