New sinus relief procedure offered at Winneshiek Medical Center

Winneshiek Medical Center is offering a new minimally invasive procedure called "Balloon Sinuplasty" that can bring relief to people with sinus problems.

WMC Ear, Nose & Throat surgeon Dr. William Remington says, "Balloon Sinuplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that opens sinus passages.   It is done right in the office, which makes it a safe, convenient and cost-effective option for patients."

One patient who had the procedure done, Jessica Hoey, says she was surprised by how quickly she felt relief: "I had no swelling, and felt surprisingly well afterward.  I instantly felt less pressure and more air flow through my sinuses, which was encouraging."  Jessica returned home after the procedure, and was at work – feeling great – at 6 am the next morning.
