Sinusitis-Sinus infection

New treatment for chronic sinus infections available

A clinically proven, minimally invasive technology for treating chronic sinus inflammation is available at Muskogee Regional Medical Center. The Balloon Sinuplasty system uses a small catheter and balloon to quickly open and expand blocked sinuses.

Historically, sinusitis patients were limited to two treatment options: medical therapy such as antibiotics and topical nasal steroids, or conventional sinus surgery such as Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.

There is an alternative solution in endoscopic sinus surgery with the Balloon Sinuplasty technology. A small, flexible balloon catheter is placed through a nostril into the blocked sinus passageway. The balloon is then inflated to gently restructure and open the sinus passageway, restoring normal sinus drainage and function.
