New Technology - The Balloon Sinuplasty - in treating Chronic Sinus Infections introduced in city
Hyderabad, March 21....: A new, minimally invasive technology for treating chronic sinus inflammation is now available in city at Sree Srinivasa ENT Care & Research Institute. Just introduced in Andhra Pradesh "The Balloon Sinuplasty System" uses a small catheter and balloon to quickly open and expand blocked sinuses.
Giving details, Dr. P. Janaki Ram Reddy, an ENT specialist informed that the Sinusitis is one of the most common chronic health problems in our state, afflicting millions each year. In twin cities alone five lakh people suffer with this problem. They suffer with headaches, congestion, fatique and other symptoms. This condition significantly impacts an individual's physical and emotional quality of life.
Until recently, Sinusite patients were limited to two treatment options: medical therapy such as antibiotics and topical nasal steroids or conventional sinus surgery such as Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery(FESS). Medical therapy can help alleviate symptoms for 75-80% of patients, but is inadequate for the rest. For them, sinus surgery is often the best option. However, FESS is a conventional surgery that requires bone and tissue removal in order to open up blocked sinus passageways. Because of which many patients choose to live with painful sinus conditions.
Now, there is an evolution in endoscopic sinus surgery with the Balloon Sinusplasty technology. A small, flexible balloon catheter is placed through a nostril into the blocked sinus passageway. The balloon is then inflated to gently restructure and open the sinus passageway, restoring normal sinus drainage and function.
Dr. P.Janaki Ram Reddy is one of the first physicians in A.P to offer this technology. The Balloon Sinuplasty devices are a true advance in sinus care because in many cases it can be done without removing any tissue or bone. That means faster recovery times and less post-procedure discomfort. In fact, most patients will be able to return to normal activities within 24 hours and have had significant improvment in their symptoms.
The Balloon sinuplasty technology has undergone rigorous clinical validation and studies have shown treatment using the devices to be safe and effective in relieving symptoms of sinusitis.
