Common examples are listed below. The ENT specialist also diagnoses and collaborates with other specialists to develop treatment plans for persons with head and neck cancer and sleep apnea.

The procedure, called Balloon Sinuplasty™ (BSP) can take as little as an hour. BSP utilizes a small catheter, passed through the nostril over a guide wire, allowing a small non-compliant balloon to open, expand and permanently restructure the sinus drainage passageways, effectively unblocking them and restoring their normal drainage and function. The procedure is beneficial for patients who have not responded to current medications or who are seeking other options for relief of sinus pain.
