Balloon Sinoplasty Services at Dr. Lal Hospital & Research Centre

Dr. Lal Hospital & Research Centre prides itself on having a team of highly skilled ENT specialists who are well-versed in performing balloon sinoplasty. Their extensive experience ensures that patients receive the most accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for chronic sinusitis and related conditions.

Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities

At Dr. Lal Hospital & Research Centre, Balloon sinoplasty, also known as balloon catheter dilation, is an advanced minimally invasive procedure used to treat chronic sinusitis and other sinus-related conditions. While it primarily involves therapeutic intervention, advanced diagnostic capabilities play a crucial role in guiding the procedure and ensuring optimal outcomes. Here are some advanced diagnostic tools and techniques utilized in conjunction with balloon sinoplasty:

  • Computed Tomography (CT) Imaging: High-resolution CT scans provide detailed anatomical information about the paranasal sinuses, including the extent of sinus blockages, sinus anatomy variations, and the presence of polyps or other abnormalities. Preoperative CT imaging helps surgeons assess the suitability of patients for balloon sinoplasty, identify target sinuses for treatment, and plan the procedure based on individual sinus anatomy.
  • Image-Guided Navigation Systems: Image-guided navigation systems integrate preoperative CT or intraoperative cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging data with real-time surgical navigation, allowing surgeons to precisely localize sinus ostia and guide balloon catheter placement. These systems enhance accuracy and safety during balloon sinuplasty by providing intraoperative visualization of instrument positioning relative to surrounding anatomical structures.
  • Endoscopic Visualization: Flexible endoscopy provides direct visualization of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, allowing surgeons to assess mucosal inflammation, identify sinus ostia, and evaluate the extent of sinus disease. Endoscopic findings guide decision-making during balloon sinuplasty, such as determining the need for adjunctive procedures (e.g., polypectomy) or identifying areas requiring additional dilation.
  • Intraoperative FluoroscopyIntraoperative fluoroscopy may be used to confirm balloon catheter placement within the sinus ostium and assess the extent of sinus dilation during the procedure. Real-time fluoroscopic imaging provides dynamic visualization of balloon inflation and sinus patency, helping surgeons achieve adequate dilation while minimizing the risk of over-dilation or injury to adjacent structures.
 

Precision Treatment Options

Precision treatment options in balloon sinuplasty aim to optimize outcomes by addressing specific sinus pathology while preserving normal anatomy and function. Here are some advanced techniques used in conjunction with balloon sinuplasty:

  • Patient Selection and Individualized Treatment Plans: Precision treatment begins with careful patient selection based on thorough clinical evaluation and diagnostic imaging. Advanced imaging modalities such as CT scans help identify the extent and location of sinus disease, guiding the selection of appropriate sinuses for balloon dilation. Individualized treatment plans take into account the patient’s specific sinus anatomy, disease severity, and treatment goals.
  • Sinusotomy and Sinus Dilation: Endoscopic sinusotomy procedures, such as maxillary antrostomy, ethmoidectomy, and sphenoidotomy, are performed with a micro debrider to enlarge the natural sinus openings and improve sinus ventilation and drainage. Sinus dilation techniques, such as balloon sinuplasty, may also be combined with micro debrider surgery to further expand the sinus ostia and restore normal sinus function.
  • Balloon Catheter Sizing and Dilation PressureThe selection of appropriate balloon catheter size and inflation pressure is critical for achieving optimal dilation while minimizing the risk of injury to surrounding tissues. Advanced balloon catheter systems offer a range of sizes and pressure control mechanisms, allowing surgeons to tailor the treatment to each patient’s anatomy and pathology. Real-time pressure monitoring during dilation ensures precise control and avoids over-inflation.
  • Customized Sinus Access Techniques: In cases where standard endoscopic access to the sinuses is challenging due to anatomical variations or previous surgeries, customized access techniques may be employed to improve visualization and instrumentation. Advanced endoscopic tools, including angled scopes, navigation systems, and powered instrumentation, facilitate safe and effective access to difficult-to-reach sinuses while minimizing trauma to surrounding structures.
