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.

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.
