Sinusitis arises when infection or inflammation disrupts the air-filled paranasal sinuses, which branch from the nasal airway. Sinusitis signs frequently include nasal congestion, discolored or unpleasant nasal drainage, face pressure or pain, and diminished smell or taste sensitivity.
At first, sinusitis is typically treated with nasal steroid sprays and/or antibiotics; if this fails to address the issue, it’s crucial to consult an ENT specialist. ENTs can do nasal endoscopy by inserting a tiny camera into your nose to examine your nasal structure and the openings surrounding your sinuses. If chronic infection or obstructions are detected, computed tomography of your sinuses may be done to evaluate for infection and other issues.
If your sinusitis doesn't improve with medicine, an ENT is well-versed in a wide range of methods, from non-invasive clinical procedures to invasive surgeries performed under general anesthesia. Most of these surgeries can be performed without hospitalization, and there’s typically no need for nasal packing.
Need for Nasal Implant Surgery
A nasal implant is used to prevent the collapse of the nasal wall-implantable breathe right strip. Latera, like other minimally invasive procedures, promises to give a positive effect while requiring no medicine or treatment.
The soluble nasal implant LATERA® is placed inside the lateral (side) wall of the nose to prop up the upper and lower cartilage. By supporting the cartilage, nasal airway blockage signs may be alleviated, allowing for easier breathing. Sinus Institute of Southwest Florida is equipped with a team of otolaryngologists/ENT specialists that are trained to surgically implant LATERA inside the nasal wall. LATERA® may improve your breathing with minimal risk of altering your facial look. Contact Today!
