NEW TECHNOLOGY OFFERS RELIEF FOR CHRONIC SINUSITIS
 
Now, there is new relief for San Diegans who suffer from chronic sinusitis. An evolutionary technology, called balloon sinuplasty, is being performed at Alvarado Hospital that allows the surgeon to use a small, flexible balloon catheter to open sinus passageways and restore quality of life.
 
Sinusitis is one of the most common chronic health problems in the U.S., afflicting 37 million Americans each year. Sinusitis significantly impacts an individual’s physical, functional and emotional quality of life.
 
“The balloon sinuplasty technology offers new hope for relief to chronic sufferers,” said Brian Weeks, MD, otolaryngologist and a world expert in balloon sinus surgery.
