Sinus Surgery

There are occasions when physician and patient find that ear nose or throat infections are recurrent and/or non-responsive to a specific medication. When this occurs, surgery is an option to enlarge the openings that drain the sinuses and reduce the potential for the development of infection (sinusitis). A trained surgeon can treat sinusitis with minimal discomfort a brief convalescence and few complications.

Improved surgical procedures, such as CO₂ laser surgery, can speed healing and improve surgical results.

Ask your doctor about CO₂ Laser Surgery and how it can help you.
