- Nasal obstruction, congestion, or blockage
- Nose bleeds
- Deviated nasal septum

Virtually all surgeries are performed in a minimally invasive manner through the nostrils with endoscopes and small instruments under computer-assisted image guidance. This precludes the need for any external incisions, allowing for quick recovery.
- In-office balloon sinuplasty
- In-office cryotherapy for chronic nasal congestion and runny nose
- Placement of nasal valve implants (Latera) for nasal obstruction
Teaching and research are also critical to the mission of the division. Our current research endeavors are examining sinus and skull base surgery outcomes, chronic rhinosinusitis pathophysiology and treatment, and Cystic Fibrosis related chronic rhinosinusitis management.
