Dr. Stephen Dent has been able to perform numerous Balloon Sinuplasty surgical procedures over the last couple of years. These procedures can be performed safely in a hospital or outpatient surgery setting. Dr. Dent begins by inserting a catheter through the nostril and into the sinus opening with the help of endoscopic visualization. This gives Dr. Dent a better view into the nose and sinus cavity, which increases his chances of placing the catheter where it needs to go. Once the catheter has been positioned correctly, Dr. Stephen Dent inflated the balloon in order to open the blocked or narrow ostium.
