Sinus Surgery

 

The precise removal of diseased sinus tissue with the improvement in the natural drainage channels by the creation of a pathway for infected material to drain from the sinus cavities. Surgery is often used for sinusitis to unblock the sinuses when drug therapy is not effective or if there are other complications, such as structural abnormalities or fungal sinusitis. Three types of sinus surgery include functional endoscopic sinus surgery, balloon sinuplasty and invasive conventional treatment.
