Treatment of Chronic Frontal Sinusitis by a Simple Technique Using Dilation Balloons
Sponsor: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France
Summary
The sinuplasty balloon offers a more physiological first of the sinuses which minimizes risks associated to traditional surgery. Its atraumatic characteristic also helps to reduce the risk of bleeding (so any use of Pack), limit scarring ransom, reduce the post-operative pain, ensure faster return to daily life activities (reduction of the average length of hospitalization). Patient's quality of life would be improved (SNOT-22 questionnaire) and reduction of post-operative pain score seams decrease on EVA. The economic impact of the sinuplasty balloon appears very favourable and fits into the strategy of development of the ambulatory practice.

Interventions
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
Balloon Sinuplasty uses a small, flexible, balloon catheter to open up blocked sinus passageways and facilitate drainage of the mucus that builds up in patients suffering from frontal sinusitis symptoms. When the sinus balloon is inflated, it restructures and widens the walls of the sinus passageway while maintaining the integrity of the sinus lining.
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery using rigide instrumentation
FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) using rigide instrumentation is conventional therapeutic strategy. The procedure works by cutting to remove bone and tissue to enlarge the sinus opening.
