Maxillary Sinus Balloon Sinuplasty * Endoscopic Sinus Surgery * California Sinus Centers

http://www.calsinus.com Maxillary Sinus Balloon Sinuplasty (Balloon catheter dilation left maxillary sinus)- LEFT SIDE Patient with chronic maxillary (cheek) sinus infection. A guide catheter with lighted guide wire is placed behind the uncinate process (bone overlying maxillary sinus). The guide wire is advanced into the sinus through the natural opening. The light can then be seen through the skin of the cheek, called transillumination. The balloon is then advanced over the guide wire and inflated, enlarging the natural outflow tract of the sinus.

I have heard that the Balloon Sinuplasty procedure is much less invasive than traditional sinus surgery. I have my hopes up that I am a candidate ... still looking for more success stories though ........ :)
