For patients with chronic sinusitis, advanced surgical options can provide long-term relief when other treatments are ineffective. At Nevada Sinus Relief, board-certified otolaryngologist Dr. Ashley Sikand uses image-guided sinus surgery to treat even the most complex sinus conditions with enhanced precision and safety. This technology-driven approach represents a significant advancement in modern sinus care and has helped countless people in Las Vegas breathe more easily.
What Is Image-Guided Sinus Surgery?
Image-guided sinus surgery combines high-resolution imaging with real-time surgical navigation. Using detailed CT scan data, the system creates a 3D map of the patient’s sinus anatomy. During surgery, special tracking instruments allow Dr. Sikand to see exactly where his instruments are located within the sinuses on a monitor.
This is especially helpful in areas where critical structures, such as the eyes, optic nerves, or brain, are near the surgical site. The added visual guidance reduces the risk of complications and allows for more precise removal of inflamed tissue, polyps, and obstructions.
Why Precision Matters in Sinus Surgery
Every person’s sinus anatomy is unique. Prior infections, scarring from previous surgeries, nasal polyps, and other variations can make surgery more complex. Image guidance allows Dr. Sikand to:
- Accurately navigate difficult or altered anatomy
- Remove diseased tissue without harming healthy structures
- Target hard-to-reach areas of the sinuses
- Enhance safety and minimize risks
- Improve overall surgical outcomes
These advantages often translate to less post-operative discomfort, more effective treatment, and a better long-term result.
Who Benefits from Image-Guided Surgery?
Image-guided techniques are particularly valuable for patients with:
- Chronic sinusitis unresponsive to medication
- Extensive nasal polyps
- Prior sinus surgeries
- Complex sinus anatomy
- Complications from previous infections
Because of the accuracy and safety this technology provides, Dr. Sikand often recommends it for complex or revision cases where traditional endoscopic surgery alone may not be sufficient.
