Chronic rhinosinusitis is defined as a condition that presents two or more sinus-nasal symptoms, including nasal obstruction, nasal blockage, nasal congestion or discharge – with or without facial pain -, facial pressure and decreased sense of smell or loss of smell over a period of more than 12 weeks.
Balloon sinuplasty is a technique employed in endoscopic sinus surgery that involves minimally invasive procedures to dilate obstructed anatomical passages or sinus stenosis and, accordingly, to restore proper ventilation of the affected sinuses.
