Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists Offering New Sinus Procedure

1/23/2015

Millions of Americans suffer from sinusitis – an inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses. This swelling can prevent your sinuses from draining, causing mucus and fluid backup which can lead to sinus infections and more inflammation and pain.

Until recently, patients suffering from recurring or persisting sinusitis were left with two choices: manage the symptoms with ongoing medical therapy or undergo endoscopic sinus surgery to expand the sinus drainage pathways.

Today, a new procedure known as balloon sinus dilation offers an effective alternative for appropriate sinusitis patients. Dr. James Rebik, an Otolaryngologist at Kay County Ear, Nose and Throat, is now performing this procedure in Ponca City.

Balloon sinus dilation offers many benefits including a short recovery time. Many patients resume normal activities the same day. The procedure can often be performed in the ENT’s office and typically lasts less than one hour.

This procedure is not appropriate for all patients. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Rebik to determine if balloon sinus dilation is right for you by calling (580) 718-4502 or visiting www.kaycountyent.com.
