What Are the Sinuses?
The sinuses are cavities that sit around the nasal passage. They are lined with membranes that constantly secrete mucus. Normally this mucus drains into the nose, but the sinuses can become inflamed, preventing proper drainage. When this occurs, the sinuses become stuffed with mucus, causing a number of symptoms. This condition is what is known as sinusitis.
When it comes to issues relating to the sinuses, the Surgical Associates Northwest team are able to manage your symptoms and provide among the best chronic sinusitis treatment Annapolis has to offer. In actual fact, many of these symptoms point to a single condition: sinusitis, which affects over 37 million Americans every year. Sinusitis has a range of severity, and can be mild or very harsh. Depending upon the severity, different forms of treatment may be recommended by Surgical Associates Northwest. In some cases of sinusitis, therapy delivered by a sinus doctor that is designed to treat allergies and infections may be effective. In other cases, more drastic measures are needed.
Nose and Sinus Disorders and Treatments
Sinus Surgery
Balloon Sinus Surgery is a safe and effective procedure for sinusitis patients who are not responding well to medications and have either had a sinus infection for more than 12 weeks.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is surgery to reshape the nose. It can make the nose larger or smaller; change the angle of the nose in relation to the upper lip; alter the tip of the nose; or correct bumps, indentations, or other defects in the nose.
Sinusitis
Many patients who cannot find relief from chronic sinusitis and symptoms like congestion, sinus pressure, and sinus headaches, have success with Balloon Sinus Surgery.
Deviated Septum
Although a deviated septum is a condition affecting millions of people across the US, it can be treated to provide permanent relief to those that suffer from it.
Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Sinus surgery involves the precise removal of diseased sinus tissue with improvement in the natural drainage channels by the creation of a pathway for infected material to drain from the sinus cavities.
