What the Treatment Is & Why It’s Done

Sinus surgery is performed to treat chronic sinus infections, nasal blockages, or structural problems that prevent normal breathing. At MaAx Super Speciality Hospital, sinus surgery is recommended for patients who suffer from repeated sinus infections, nasal polyps, or conditions that do not respond to medication.

The goal is to restore proper airflow, drainage, and relieve symptoms such as headaches, congestion, and facial pain.

How the Treatment Is Performed

Balloon Sinuplasty: A balloon is inserted and inflated to widen sinus passages.
