what is...
Chronic Sinusitis?
Displaying continuous inflammation and tenderness of the sinuses, Chronic Sinusitis is defined by an assortment of symptoms, such as foul breath, chronic cough, exhaustion, headaches, sinus pressure, tenderness surrounding and behind the eyes, toothache, nasal discharge, raw swollen throat, postnasal drip, and frequent infections.
While minor and infrequent allergy related sinus infections can be effectively treated with antibiotics or medication, surgery should become an option to explore once the patient’s symptoms do not lessen and start to hinder effect their daily life and productivity.

How does Sinus Surgery work?
Sinus surgery aims to restore proper sinus function by removing obstructions, correcting structural abnormalities, and enhancing sinus drainage. Dr. Guida performs Image Guided Sinus Surgery, which is a highly advanced type of endoscopic nasal surgery that allows the doctor to see the nasal passages in great detail on a nearby monitor during the operation. Dr. Guida is one of very few surgeons who has his own Image Guided Sinus Surgery Fusion machine in office.
The surgery involves the insertion of a thin, flexible endoscope with a camera and light into the nostrils. This allows the surgeon to visualize the nasal passages and sinus openings clearly. Specialized instruments are then used to remove any polyps, scar tissue, or other obstructions contributing to chronic sinusitis.
Dr. Guida doesn't pack the nose after the surgery, which makes recovery much more comfortable.
