The consultation considers symptoms, their effect on daily life and the findings on examination. Dr. Abhishek Malviya explains the available options so that the next step can be planned for the individual patient.
When Can Balloon Sinuplasty Be Considered?
Balloon sinuplasty widens selected sinus drainage pathways using a small balloon. It is suitable only for certain sinus conditions and does not replace all forms of sinus surgery. Symptoms, nasal endoscopy and CT findings help guide selection.
Concerns that may need assessment include:
- Selected sinus drainage problems
- Persistent symptoms after appropriate care
- Suitable sinus anatomy on imaging
How Is the Assessment Planned?
Symptoms, endoscopy and CT findings determine whether balloon treatment is appropriate. Extensive polyps or other disease may require a different endoscopic procedure.
Bring earlier prescriptions, hearing tests, scans and relevant medical records. Tell the clinician about current medicines, allergies and previous procedures. Tests are chosen according to the examination rather than being necessary for every patient.
What Does Treatment Involve?
A small balloon is positioned in a selected sinus drainage pathway and inflated to widen it. It may be used alone or with other sinus procedures, depending on the disease.
Recovery, Follow-up & Possible Risks
Some pressure, minor bleeding or congestion may follow. Infection, ongoing symptoms and the need for further treatment are possible. Follow-up and medical management remain important.
The expected benefit, alternatives and limitations are discussed before treatment. Follow the individual plan for medicines, activity and review. Recovery depends on the condition, the procedure and general health; another patient’s recovery is not a fixed guide.
