Hackensack ENT Provides Relief From Sinus Pressure With New Procedure

    HACKENSACK, NJ, January 18, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Premier Hackensack ENT, Dr. Christopher Shaari, invites patients suffering from chronic sinusitis to visit his office for relief with the new Entellus balloon sinus technology and procedure. Patients searching for sinus relief can receive the care they need from Dr. Shaari and this new procedure.

Dr. Shaari, ENT in Hackensack, NJ, is one of the first in New Jersey to utilize the Entellus balloon sinus technology to open blocked sinus cavities in a comfortable office setting. It uses tiny catheters that are threaded into the congested drainage pathways of the sinuses where a small balloon is inflated. This widens the drainage tract of the sinus and is associated with minimal discomfort.

"Poor sinus drainage, which leads to infection and discomfort, is the source of persistent or recurring sinus pain. Antibiotics, decongestants, and steroids can be used to minimize the discomfort of symptoms, but they do not fix the underlying drainage problem. Balloon sinus technology allows me to widen the natural drainage pathways of the sinuses and provide relief for my patients with chronic sinusitis and sinus discomfort," said Dr. Christopher Shaari, Hackensack, NJ ENT.

Balloon sinuplasty is a new, minimally invasive office procedure that reopens the sinus pathways and restores drainage to deliver immediate, long lasting relief to recurrent and chronic sinusitis sufferers. By restoring sinus drainage, balloon sinuplasty can provide lasting sinus relief to qualified patients, and the sinusitis cycle.

Typically performed under local anesthesia, this procedure can sometimes be performed in Dr. Shaari's office without the need for anesthesia. Balloon sinus technology by Entellus offers a new, in-office choice for sinusitis patients. Patients who have received balloon sinuplasty have experienced significant improvement in their sinusitis symptoms, and 90% return to normal activity within 48 hours.

To learn more about the benefits of balloon sinus technology for the relief of sinusitis symptoms, patients are encouraged to contact Dr. Christopher Shaari, Hackensack Ear, Nose and Throat doctor, for more information. Patients can also contact Dr. Shaari for an array of other ear, nose and throat conditions and symptoms, including thyroid, parathyroid, sinuses, and allergies in Hackensack, among others.
