Ear, Nose and Throat

The highly-trained ear, nose and throat specialists at Trinity Health Michigan use advanced non-surgical and surgical methods to treat injuries and illnesses of the ear, nose and throat. We offer complete care from diagnosis to treatment.

Our physicians use the latest technology, including Balloon Sinusplasty and PROPEL® Mometasone Furcate Implants, to free you from chronic head and neck pain.

Diagnosis

Chronic sinusitis is a condition in which patients' sinuses become swollen and inflamed, leading to difficulty breathing, facial pain or headache, and loss of smell and taste. The condition is common, affecting 31 million people in the U.S., and greatly impacts quality of life.

Treatment

Balloon Sinuplasty

During Balloon Sinuplasty™, a small flexible balloon catheter is placed through the nostril into the blocked sinus passage. The balloon is then slightly inflated to restructure and open the space, relieving you of your symptoms.

This procedure helps you improve your physical, functional and emotional quality of life.

PROPEL® Mometasone Furoate Implant

The PROPEL implant was developed to improve the quality of life for patients with chronic sinusitis by maintaining the openings created during sinus surgery. The spring-like implants gradually deliver an advanced steroid with anti-inflammatory properties directly to the sinus lining, and then dissolve into the body following endoscopic sinus surgery.

The result is improved surgical outcomes, reducing the need for additional surgical procedures and for systemic steroids, which can have serious side effects.
