Ear, nose, and throat
Office-based surgery
For sinus surgeons
The precision of the operating room now in your office
Performing sinus surgery in the office can lower the need for sedatives and anesthesia, reducing patient discomfort and shortening the surgical experience. With the right tools for in-office sinus surgery, most patients can go home after 10–20 minutes of observation following their ear, nose, and throat (ENT) procedure. Reduced nausea and a less frequent need for sedatives and anesthetics allows the patient to recover faster and feel less nausea post-operatively. When patients have shorter wait times and recovery times, they have a better sinus surgery experience — and your office can optimize scheduling, allowing you to serve more ENT patients.
