  • In fact, I already saw a video from a physician who performs this technique in a patient! It looks like some kind of vacuum cleaner that washes the fungus that produces sinusitis. Although I saw that video here I would like to recommend Symposier site for physicians who are interested in related topics like sinus conditios (Allergic Rhinits for example) or other medical topics.

  • it looks far less invasive or painful than the traditional surgery. is there evidence that balloon sinuplasty sticks? do the bones come back? or do they stay pushed out? looks cool.

  • Balloon sinuplasty seems to be picking up a ton of steam lately. It is a newer procedure so I don't think there are any studies about long-term effectiveness. That would be nice to see.
