Program on Balloon Sinuplasty

?The New Sinus Treatment ? With Balloons,? a free program about Balloon Sinuplasty, will be offered at either noon to 1 p.m., or 5 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 13, in the Blackhawk Room at Great River Center for Rehab and Clinics, 1401 W. Agency Rd., West Burlington. Presenters are ENT physicians Dean Lyons, M.D. (noon) and Douglas Henrich, M.D. (5 p.m.). A light meal will be provided.

During Balloon Sinuplasty, a surgeon places a small, flexible balloon catheter through a nostril and into the blocked sinus passageway. The surgeon then inflates the balloon to gently restructure and open the sinus passageway, restoring normal sinus drainage and function. Surgeons often do not need to remove any tissue or bone.
