INTRODUCTION

• 
  

3

• Balloon sinuplasty is a procedure that ear, nose
  and throat surgeons may use for the treatment of
  blocked sinuses.
• Patients diagnosed with sinusitis but not
  responding to medications may be candidates for
  sinus surgery.
• Over the last several decades, there have been
  many changes in technology that have improved our
  lives.
• Rhinology, or the sub-specialty of ENT that deals
  with nasal and sinus disease, has dramatically
  benefited from these advances.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
5

• In the mid 1980s, small telescopes called
  endoscopes allowed surgeons to visualize the
  inside of the nasal and sinus passages and
  revolutionized nasal and sinus surgery.
• These advances continue as technology allows
  rhinologists to do more, to be more accurate, to
  be less traumatic, and to be more precise.
• Once such advancement was the development of the
  balloon dilating catheter and its adaptation to
  sinus surgery.

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
7

• It is based upon the principle that surgeons can
  restore the natural drainage pathway of the
  sinuses by relieving obstruction or blockages
  that contribute to the disease process.
• This is commonly done in a conservative fashion
  in order to preserve the function of the sinuses
  without damaging natural structures that surround
  them.
• In general, standard instrumentation is used to
  remove tissue including bone and its surrounding
  mucous membrane (the lining of the nose and
  sinuses) from the area of the natural openings of
  the sinuses.
• Doing this helps to treat disease and to restore
  the sinuses normal drainage pathways.

PROCEDURE
9

• Sinus surgery with balloons may be performed in a
  hospital, outpatient surgery setting or in the
  physicians office under local anesthesia.
• The surgeon and patient will determine the ideal
  site and anesthesia type for the procedure based
  on the patient's medical history, surgical need
  and preferences.
• The physician inserts a guide catheter through
  the nostril and near the sinus opening under
  endoscopic visualization.
• A flexible guide wire is then introduced into the
  targeted sinus to confirm access.
• Most guide wires have a light on the tip which
  may produce light transmission seen through the
  skin to help the physician with correct placement
  of the guide wire.
• Once access to a blocked sinus is confirmed, a
  balloon catheter is advanced over the guide wire
  and positioned in the blocked sinus opening for
  inflation.
• The balloon is inflated.
• If the procedure is successful, the sinus will
  remain open after the balloon is deflated and
  removed.

How Balloon Dilating Catheter Works?
11

• The balloon dilating catheter can be used in 2
  ways.
• One way is to use it just like any other
  instrument or tool used during functional
  endoscopic sinus surgery- it is used as a
  minimally invasive tool during a procedure where
  tissue is actually removed.
• Another way that it can be used is as a
  stand-alone procedure -- that is when only the
  balloon and no other instrumentation is used to
  open a sinus. With this technique, no tissue is
  actually removed from the level of the sinus
  opening.
• It has been shown that use of minimally-invasive
  instruments may result in less postoperative
  pain, less postoperative pain medication use, and
  a quicker recovery.
• It cannot be used in all situations, and it
  cannot be used in all sinuses.
• It is one of a vast armamentarium of instruments
  that a surgeon may choose from in different
  surgical situations.

In Summary
13

• Regardless of the name of the procedure, the
  instrument being a balloon or not, or the
  technique, this is sinus surgery.
• The indications are no different than the
  indications for standard endoscopic sinus surgery
  or FESS.
• The most common application of this is for
  chronic sinusitis that has not been able to be
  controlled after a long duration of medical
  management that includes long courses of
  antibiotics.
• The balloon dilating catheter is a tool to be
  used in endoscopic sinus surgery.
• It is the adaptation or application of
  minimally-invasive balloon technology to the
  field of sinus surgery.
• All procedures have potential risks and
  complications and for a full discussion of all of
  these issues and how to get your balloon
  sinuplasty NYC procedure, please contact Dr.
