Our Services
A full-service ENT practice, our specialized physicians are trained to effectively treat and manage a wide variety of otolaryngology-related conditions including ongoing sinus infections, allergies, voice and swallowing disorders, hearing loss, ailments requiring facial reconstruction surgery, balance issues, and various other disorders of the head and neck.
Balloon Sinuplasty
Balloon sinuplasty is a breakthrough procedure now available at CommonSpirit Aspen Ridge ENT St. Anthony. Balloon sinuplasty relieves the pain and pressure associated with chronic sinusitis. With Balloon sinuplasty, we can safely and effectively treat chronic sinusitis patients who are not responding well to medications such as antibiotics, nasal steroids, or over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, and are seeking relief from uncomfortable and painful sinusitis symptoms.
If you suffer from chronic sinusitis and are not responding well to medications may benefit from an evaluation with Aspen Ridge ENT St. Anthony.
Balloon Sinuplasty, a specially-designed catheter is inserted into the nose to reach the inflamed sinus cavity. A small balloon is slowly inflated, which widens and restructures the walls of the sinus passage, helping to drain mucus from the blocked sinus and restore normal sinus drainage without cutting and with minimal bleeding. This approach also preserves the natural structure of the sinuses.
Similar to how angioplasty uses balloons to open blocked arteries, Balloon Sinuplasty, a system of FDA-cleared, catheter-based instruments, opens blocked sinuses. The procedure is less invasive than traditional sinus surgery. It allows most patients to return to normal activities quickly.
