Balloon sinuplasty or balloon catheter dilation surgery is a minimally invasive procedure to clear the blocked sinuses. In this procedure, a thin, flexible tube with a dilating balloon at the end is used for opening blocked sinus openings. This will push aside bones and tear soft tissue and thus increasing the drainage of the sinus and will hopefully work. It often restructures and widens the walls of the passageway after the sinus balloon is inflated, while maintaining the integrity of the sinus lining, without causing bleeding or tissue removal.
