Connecticut Sinus Institute
The Connecticut Sinus Institute provides advanced diagnosis and treatment options for a range of sinus conditions. Our team of experts specializes in managing nasal polyps, sinusitis, deviated septum, and other sinus concerns.
Nasal Polyps
Nasal polyps are soft, noncancerous growths that form in the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses. They can be caused by chronic inflammation, allergies, asthma, or recurring sinus infections. Common symptoms of nasal polyps include nasal congestion, reduced sense of taste and smell, runny nose, and facial pressure.
Our team uses the latest techniques and technology to ensure the most effective treatment with minimal downtime and discomfort. We prioritize patient education, providing you with comprehensive information about nasal polyps, their causes, treatment options, and preventive measures.
At the Connecticut Sinus Institute, our experienced specialists employ advanced diagnostic techniques to identify nasal polyps and develop individualized treatment plans. Depending on the severity and extent of the polyps, treatment options may include:
- medication to reduce inflammation
- nasal corticosteroid sprays
- surgical removal of the polyps
Sinusitis
Sinusitis, commonly known as a sinus infection, occurs when the sinuses become inflamed and swollen. This can cause symptoms such as facial pain, pressure, congestion, headache, and thick nasal discharge. Chronic sinusitis is characterized by recurring or persistent symptoms lasting for more than 12 weeks.
We provide a comprehensive approach to sinusitis management, addressing underlying factors such as allergies, structural issues, or recurring infections. We strive to minimize symptoms, promote sinus health, and enhance your overall quality of life.
The Connecticut Sinus Institute offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment options for both acute and chronic sinusitis. Our specialists conduct thorough evaluations to determine the underlying cause of your sinusitis and provide personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. Treatment options may include:
- nasal irrigation
- nasal corticosteroid sprays
- antibiotics
- a combination of medical and surgical interventions
Deviated Septum
A deviated septum occurs when the thin wall separating the nasal passages is displaced or crooked.
This structural deviation can lead to breathing difficulties, nasal congestion, recurrent sinus infections, and snoring. In some cases, a deviated septum may require surgical intervention to correct the alignment and improve nasal airflow.
At the Connecticut Sinus Institute, our skilled physicians specialize in diagnosing and treating deviated septum. Through a comprehensive evaluation, including nasal endoscopy and imaging studies, we assess the severity of the deviation and develop an appropriate treatment plan to address your specific needs.
For mild deviations, conservative treatment options such as nasal corticosteroid sprays or decongestants may be recommended to manage symptoms. However, if the deviation significantly impairs your breathing or quality of life we may recommend surgery. Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to straighten the septum. Our experienced surgeons utilize advanced techniques to ensure the best outcomes with minimal downtime.
Balloon Sinuplasty
Balloon sinuplasty is an innovative procedure that provides relief for chronic sinus issues by gently opening blocked sinus passages. It is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional sinus surgery, offering quick recovery time and less discomfort for patients.
During a balloon sinuplasty procedure, a small, flexible balloon catheter is inserted into the blocked sinus passage and gently inflated. This expands the sinus opening and restores normal drainage. The balloon is then deflated and removed, leaving the sinus passages open.
