Nose And Sinus - Dr. Dan Carroll ENT - Head & Neck Surgeon

Nosebleed Treatment:
For patients who frequently suffer from nosebleeds, Dr. Carroll offers effective treatment methods that quickly control and stop the bleeding. Cauterization, a procedure that involves burning the blood vessels to close them, is one such method often used for recurrent nosebleeds.
Sinus Debridement:
This procedure is carried out to clear blockages in the sinuses, often after sinus surgery. Dr. Carroll uses specialized tools to gently remove crusting, old blood clots, and residual disease, facilitating the healing process and restoring normal sinus function.
Balloon Sinuplasty:
As a less invasive alternative to traditional sinus surgery, Dr. Carroll uses balloon sinuplasty to treat chronic sinusitis. This involves inserting a small balloon into the sinus cavity and then inflating it to expand the sinus pathways and restore drainage, relieving sinus pressure and pain.

Propel and SINUVA Drug-Eluting Stent Placement:
Dr. Carroll is trained in the placement of Propel and SINUVA stents, state-of-the-art devices that slowly release anti-inflammatory medication directly into the sinuses after surgery. These stents support the healing process, reduce the need for systemic steroids, and can help prevent the need for additional surgical procedures.
Cryotherapy for Turbinates, Rhinitis:
In cases of chronic rhinitis or enlarged nasal turbinates, Dr. Carroll may employ cryotherapy. This treatment uses extremely cold temperatures to reduce tissue size, improving airflow and alleviating symptoms such as nasal congestion or runny nose.
Full Spectrum Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS):
For patients with chronic sinusitis or nasal polyps that don’t respond to medication, Dr. Carroll performs FESS. Using an endoscope, he can directly view the nasal passages and sinuses to remove blockages, thereby improving sinus ventilation and function without the need for external incisions.
