Treatment is offered for benign and malignant tumors of
this area. Our specialists offer medical management of
sinus disease and also perform traditional and endoscopic
sinus surgery.
TREATMENTS The development
of endoscopic sinus surgery has enabled surgeons to visualize
the sinus openings, remove diseased tissue, and make the
natural sinus openings larger directly, all by working
through the nostrils. With the addition of techniques
or image guided surgery, rarely is it necessary to make
an incision on the face or in the upper gum to gain access
to the diseased sinus.
BENEFITS
There are dramatic benefits to Minimally Invasive Surgery.
The smaller incision minimizes tissue damage allowing
for a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery time.
Patients also enjoy reduced post-operative pain and less
scarring than open surgery.
