Computer guided surgery requires a special CT scan that is loaded into the system prior to the procedure. Specialized instruments are calibrated and utilized during the procedure which allow for highly accurate localization of sinus disease.

The idea of stenting a sinus cavity has been around for a long time. There are descriptions in the literature that date back greater than 100 years of various stents to maintain patency of the various sinus passages.

Nasal obstruction refers to poor airflow through the nose. There are multiple causes for nasal obstruction including nasal septal deviation, enlarged turbinates, nasal valve collapse and nasal/sinus polyps.

If your nose is always runny, you may be one of the millions of people living with chronic rhinitis.

The Eustachian tube is a narrow tube which links the back of the nose to the middle ear. It has three main functions: to protect the middle ear from sources of disease, to ventilate the middle ear, and to help drain secretions away from the middle ear.

In office procedures play an integral role in daily management of chronic sinus patients. Chronic sinus is not always a fully curable condition and consequently requires routine visits and management.

Since 2008, Ohio Sinus Institute was the first practice in Columbus to offer this safe, convenient and cost effective sinus imaging technology. We were also the first practice to have our scanner accredited by the IACTL.

As part of Ohio Sinus Institute’s mission to incorporate the latest treatment options for our patients we frequently participate in or initiate institutional review board approved research protocols.

Sialoendoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure for treating multiple conditions of the salivary glands. There are 4 major salivary glands (2 on each side) called the submandibular gland (located under the jaw) and the parotid gland (located in the cheek in front of the ear).

ENS was originally described by Dr. Eugene Kern in the 1990s to describe symptoms suffered by some patients who had received a partial and/or total middle and/or inferior turbinate reductions or resections.
