To perform this outpatient procedure, your Las Vegas doctor uses an endoscope (a small probe with a camera on the end) to enter your sinuses and remove problematic tissues and diseased sinus mucosa.<br \/>\nImage guided surgery is another endoscopic surgery option for severe forms of chronic sinusitis or nasal blockage that can\u2019t be treated using normal sinus surgery methods. It relies on a three-dimensional mapping system created from CT scans for extreme precision.<br \/>\nBalloon Sinuplasty uses a small balloon catheter inserted into the sinuses then inflated to open up the nasal passageways.

These procedures are used to reduce blockage, fix a deviated septum, repair a broken nose and more.<br \/>\nTurbinate surgery reduces airway obstruction and difficulty breathing caused by enlarged or swollen turbinates, which are small bones that clean and humidify air as it passes through your nose. There are several types of turbinate surgery, including the turbinectomy (full or partial tissue removal), the turbinoplasty (tissue repositioning), radiofrequency or laser ablation surgery (tissue reduction) and submucous resection surgery (partial bone or cartilage removal).<br \/>\nFor more information on nasal and sinus surgeries and to see if it may be right for you, contact your Las Vegas doctor today.\",<br \/>\n  \"url\" : \"https:\/\/nesilv.com\/surgery-options-sinus-infections\/\",<br \/>\n  \"headline\" : \"Surgery Options for Sinus Infections\",<br \/>\n  \"publisher\" : {<br \/>\n    \"@type\" : \"Organization\",<br \/>\n    \"name\" : \"Nevada Ear and Sinus Institute\",<br \/>\n    \"logo\": {<br \/>\n\"@type\": \"ImageObject\",<br \/>\n\"url\": \"https:\/\/nesilv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/logo-top@2x28032027.png\",<br \/>\n\"width\": 100,<br \/>\n\"height\": 60<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n  }<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Do you feel like you have tried every pill at the pharmacy to treat your <a href=\"https:\/\/nesilv.com\/service\/allergies\/sinusitis\/\" title=\"Sinsuitis | Nevada Ear &amp; Sinus Institute\"><strong>sinus condition<\/strong><\/a> with little to no change in your symptoms?
