Sinuplasty
This is our current leading sinus surgery project. This involves the use of small balloons to expand the sinus drainage holes and not remove tissue - it's like angioplasty for the heart applied to the sinuses instead - hopefully faster recovery, no packing and much less pain than current endoscopic sinus surgery. For appointments call 650-462-3131. Learn more about balloon sinuplasty or visit Acclarent.

Computer Navigation for Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
CSI doctors have consulted with several companies to develop better software and hardware for the treatment of sinus disease. This has included several software changes used nationwide for surgical navigation via BrainLab and GE/VTI InstaTrak.
