Find Lasting Relief with Advanced Sinus Surgery in Metro Atlanta

When Is Sinus Surgery Necessary?

Living with chronic sinus symptoms that don’t respond to medication can be frustrating. When medical therapy and minimally invasive office procedures—such as VivAer® or RhinAer®—are no longer effective, sinus surgery may offer meaningful, lasting relief.

At the practice of Dr. Pablo Stolovitzky, surgery is recommended only after a comprehensive evaluation and when it offers a clear benefit based on your unique anatomy and diagnosis. We provide expert surgical care for patients throughout Atlanta, Decatur and Snellville.

Candidate for Sinus Surgery

• You have chronic sinusitis with symptoms lasting 12 weeks or longer despite medical treatment.
• Nasal polyps are causing persistent blockage or recurrent infections.
• Structural blockage is preventing normal sinus drainage.
• Sinus disease has led to complications affecting the eyes or lungs.

Modern, Minimally Invasive Sinus Surgery Options

Modern sinus surgery is exact and designed to restore normal drainage while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)

FESS is the gold standard for sinus surgery. Using a small endoscope and specialized instruments, Dr. Stolovitzky visualizes the natural drainage pathways and carefully removes obstructive tissue to improve ventilation.

• Minimally Invasive: Performed entirely through the nostrils with no external incisions.
• Precision: Focuses only on the diseased areas to preserve healthy sinus lining.

Balloon Sinuplasty

For select patients with less extensive disease, Balloon Sinuplasty offers a tissue-preserving option. A small balloon catheter is gently inflated to widen the passage without removing bone or tissue. As a lead researcher in this field, Dr. Stolovitzky provides unparalleled expertise in this technology.

Steroid-Eluting Sinus Implants (e.g., PROPEL®)

During surgery, Dr. Stolovitzky may place dissolvable implants, such as PROPEL®, to deliver localized anti-inflammatory therapy directly to the sinus lining. These help:

• Reduce post-operative inflammation.
• Decrease the risk of scar tissue and polyp recurrence.

Image-Guided Navigation for Enhanced Safety

For complex sinus anatomy or revision surgeries, Dr. Stolovitzky utilizes image-guided navigation. This technology integrates real-time surgical instruments with 3D CT imaging to enhance accuracy and safety during the procedure.
