Blockage of the sinus opening can lead to chronic sinusitis, when normal mucous drainage cannot occur.  This condition may lead to infection and inflammation of the sinuses.

  • Pain, pressure, congestion or fullness in the face
  • Difficulty breathing through the nose
  • Yellow or green mucous discharge from the nose
  • Teeth pain
  • Loss of smell or taste
  • Headache
  • Fatigue

Balloon SinuplastyTM

Click here to watch an informative video about balloon sinuplasty™ (this is a large file).

Sinuses are opened in the same way that doctors open up blocked artieries during a balloon angioplasty.  The technology is minimally invasive and safe.  

Dr. Raj TerKonda is the only surgeon performing this advanced surgery technique in the Front Range and does so exclusively at Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center.  He has performed numerous procedures using the Balloon Sinuplasty TM system, giving patients relief with less pain and faster healing than traditional sinus surgery.

Am I a Candidate for Balloon Sinuplasty?

Children to adults who suffer from chronic sinusitis and poor drainage of the sinuses are the best candidates.

For more information, visit http://www.balloonsinuplasty.com/ or call Dr. TerKonda's office at 720-494-3120 to schedule an appointment and find out if Balloon Sinuplasty is right for you.  Isn't it time to get your life back?
