Sinus Treatments for Lasting Relief
Your nasal sinuses are air-filled cavities surrounding your nose that play a crucial role in draining the nasal passages and keeping them free of bacteria. When these sinuses become inflamed or blocked, drainage can be obstructed, leading to a buildup of bacteria and, ultimately, infections that cause pain, discomfort, and, in some cases, serious complications. These blockages can be caused by allergies, facial injuries, or other factors.
Dr. Mourad specializes in various surgical techniques to clear sinus blockages, widen the sinus cavities, and enhance overall nasal function. During your initial consultation, he will collaborate with you to determine the most effective treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Common Sinus Conditions
- Acute Sinusitis
Acute sinusitis is a sudden inflammation of the sinuses, typically caused by viral infections such as the common cold. Symptoms can include nasal congestion, facial pain, and pressure, often accompanied by a thick nasal discharge. Treatment usually focuses on relieving symptoms with decongestants and, in some cases, antibiotics if the infection is bacterial. - Chronic Sinusitis
Unlike acute sinusitis, chronic sinusitis persists for 12 weeks or longer and may be due to ongoing infection, nasal polyps, or a deviated septum. Chronic sinusitis often leads to continuous nasal congestion, reduced sense of smell, and facial pain. Treatments range from nasal corticosteroids and saline irrigation to surgical options when conservative treatments are insufficient. - Chronic Rhinitis
Chronic rhinitis is characterized by long-term nasal congestion, runny nose, and postnasal drip, often caused by allergies or irritants. This condition can significantly impact sleep and quality of life. Our treatment options include medication, allergy management, and, in severe cases, surgical intervention to improve nasal airflow. - Nasal Polyps
Nasal polyps are soft, painless, noncancerous growths that can develop within the nasal passages or sinuses, often due to chronic inflammation. They can block airflow, leading to difficulty breathing, and frequently contribute to chronic sinusitis. Treatments may include corticosteroids to shrink the polyps or surgery for removal when they are particularly large or persistent. - Sinus Infection (Sinusitis)
Sinus infections occur when the sinus cavities become infected and swollen, which can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi. Symptoms often include facial pain, nasal congestion, and fever. Treatment depends on the cause and may involve antibiotics, antifungal medication, or sinus surgery for recurring infections. - Fungal Sinusitis
Fungal sinusitis can result from exposure to certain types of fungi in the environment, especially for those with weakened immune systems or allergies. This condition can be challenging to treat and may require antifungal medications or surgical procedures to clear the infection and improve sinus drainage. - Odontogenic Sinusitis
This type of sinusitis is linked to dental issues, such as a tooth infection that spreads to the sinuses. Odontogenic sinusitis requires an integrated approach to treat both the sinus and dental infections effectively, often involving coordination with a dental specialist.
Advanced Sinus Surgery Procedures
- Sinus Surgery
Our department offers various sinus surgery options to treat chronic sinusitis and related conditions effectively. Depending on your symptoms and diagnosis, we may recommend minimally invasive endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) to clear blockages and improve sinus drainage. This type of sinus surgery is highly effective and involves less recovery time than traditional surgeries. - Balloon Sinuplasty
Balloon sinuplasty is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedure that helps open blocked sinus passages using a small, flexible balloon catheter. The balloon is gently inflated to restructure and widen the sinuses, allowing for improved drainage and reduced inflammation. This outpatient procedure is ideal for patients with chronic sinusitis who do not respond well to medication alone. - Nasal Polyps Surgery
When nasal polyps are resistant to medication, surgery may be necessary to remove them. Our team performs polypectomy using advanced endoscopic techniques to remove polyps with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. This can significantly improve breathing and reduce the frequency of sinus infections.

Sinus Surgery
Sinus treatment surgery, also known as sinus surgery, is often recommended for individuals who suffer from chronic sinusitis or other sinus-related issues that do not respond to medication or other non-invasive treatments. The procedure aims to improve sinus drainage by removing blockages, correcting structural issues, or addressing inflammation within the sinus cavities. This can result in significant relief from symptoms like nasal congestion, facial pressure, headaches, and frequent infections. Advanced techniques, such as endoscopic sinus surgery, allow surgeons to perform the procedure with minimal invasiveness, resulting in shorter recovery times and less post-operative discomfort.
