Advanced Sinus Surgery
At Wellstar, we specialize in caring for nose, sinus and skull base conditions for better long-term health.
Expert Sinus Surgery
Multidisciplinary sinus care
If you have ongoing nose or sinus problems, Wellstar is here to help. Rhinologists—ear, nose and throat doctors with additional training in sinus care—diagnose and treat these issues so you can enjoy life more. We offer personalized care and the latest treatments. Our team helps people with nose issues, ranging from difficulty breathing to tumors. We provide personalized treatment plans to relieve symptoms and address the root cause.
At Wellstar, our goal is for each patient to have the care that’s right for them. Our rhinologists partner with different specialists to provide personalized care. These doctors include allergists, eye surgeons and brain surgeons.
Advanced nose, sinus & skull base procedures
When surgery is the best treatment, we offer advanced options. Many of our procedures are minimally invasive, using a small tube-like tool called an endoscope that has a tiny camera. This avoids incisions and helps patients recover faster than with traditional methods.Endoscopic sinus surgery
A surgeon uses an endoscope to see and clear blockages in your sinuses to help with chronic sinusitis and similar conditions. This eases symptoms and lowers the chance of infections.
Endoscopic repair of cerebrospinal fluid leaks (CFL)
Without making any cuts, the surgeon seals CFL from the skull base into the nose. This endoscopic technique allows for faster recovery.
Endoscopic resection of sinonasal tumors
A sinus surgeon and brain surgeon work together to remove tumors or abnormalities at the base of the skull. Using an endoscope, they carefully remove the tumors, aiming for improved outcomes and quicker recovery.
Septoplasty
This surgery corrects a deviated septum to help air flow better through your nose. It also helps with problems like snuffiness and snoring.
Inferior turbinate reduction
Turbinates are structures inside the nose. This surgery reduces swollen turbinates to help clear congestion and make breathing easier.
Endoscopic repair of septal perforations
Surgeons use endoscopic tools to close holes in the nasal septum, alleviating symptoms and restoring nasal function.
Endoscopic orbital decompression
This procedure helps ease pressure on the eye from conditions like thyroid eye disease. Surgeons use endoscopes to take out bone or tissue, reducing eye pressure and improving symptoms.
Tear duct surgery / endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR)
Surgeons treat tear duct blockage in this procedure. They use endoscopy tools to make a new path for tears to drain from the eye to the nasal cavity.
In-office balloon sinuplasty
Performed in the doctor’s office, surgeons use a small balloon to widen blocked sinus passages. Patients may experience only mild discomfort.
In-office treatment for rhinitis and nasal obstruction
This treatment helps with chronic rhinitis by using low-level radiofrequency energy to disrupt the nerves in the back of your nose. Performed in the doctor’s office, it’s a convenient alternative to surgery.
