Selective irrigation of the sinuses in the management of chronic rhinosinusitis refractory to medical therapy: a promising start. Lavigne F, Tulic MK, Gagnon J, Hamid Q. [J Otolaryngol. 2004]
Sinus Surgery Alternative
Chronic sinusitis surgery becomes a viable option when the conventional treatments offered by frontline medical practitioners are unable to decrease infections and improve the quality of life of their patients. Sinus surgery may require targeted removal of diseased sinus, removal of nasal and sinus polyps, correction of anatomical obstructions or a host of other medical conditions. For most people, sinus surgery could often be avoided if a more practical approach involving the daily rinsing of the sinus passages were practiced in tandem with antibiotics, nasal steroids, anti-fungals or other medications to help eliminate colonizing pathogens.
Cilia are microscopic pulsating hair-like structures in the nose that work to sweep out undesirable debris and infectious materials out of your sinus passages and into the back of the throat. Mucous is produced by the body to trap the foreign materials in your sinus passages. Cilia and mucous work together as a transport system and are more commonly referred to in the medical community as the mucociliary system.
Unfortunately, effective nasal irrigation options are not presented often enough as an alternative to sinus surgery but described as being absolutely essential after sinus surgery to help to reduce the chances of sinus surgery infection and an unsuccessful surgical procedure. Even if sinus surgery is needed because of nasal polyp formation or severely blocked sinus passages, pulsatile irrigation can limit sinus surgery infection, prevent recurrences and aid in the healing process after surgery.
Avoiding sinus surgery requires personal responsibility and commitment to a daily or biweekly maintenance routine to manage sinus symptoms resulting from allergy, bacteria, fungal and viral challenges. The simple process of daily rinsing using Pulsatile Irrigation will reduce bacterial loads responsible for promoting long-term infections. Many individuals require multiple sinus surgeries because they do not commit to a nasal hygiene program.
We invite you to learn how Pulsatile Irrigation was recommended to a patient that had undergone four sinus surgeries at Vanderbilt University who shared her results with us in a detailed email. Click to see Vicki M. success story.
We also invite you to try a SinuPulse Elite System's pulsatile irrigation technology or to consider reviewing additional website information about how Pulsatile Irrigation may help you or a friend improve your quality of life that has been compromised by sinus disease.
