Sinus surgery: Using a small telescope with a camera the surgeon can look in your nose. Using delicate instruments the doc opens the various sinus cavities to improve drainage.

Usually with scopes: During endoscopic sinus surgery your surgeon will use an endoscope an identify the blocked or diseased sinus openings and then will widen those openings with various instruments or balloons. Then the actual sinuses will be irrigated to remove debris. For more detailed info visit www.Socalsinus.Com.
