A novel balloon device allows safe endoscopic sinus surgery in flowing water, preventing leakage and improving efficiency. This simple "Noda Balloon" also aids in managing epistaxis and preventing post-operative complications.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Medical Device Development

Background:

  • Traditional endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) can be challenging due to bleeding and debris.
  • Maintaining a clear surgical field is crucial for patient safety and surgical outcomes.
  • Existing methods may not always provide optimal visualization or hemostasis during ESS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel balloon device, the "Noda Balloon", for use in "flowing water" ESS.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of this technique in patients with chronic sinusitis.
  • To explore the utility of ultrasonography (USG) in conjunction with this surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a choanal balloon to prevent pharyngeal water leakage during surgery.

  • Performance of ESS in flowing water on 38 chronic sinusitis patients under local anesthesia.
  • Utilized ultrasonography (USG) for intraoperative visualization of nasal structures and potential complications.

    • Main Results:

    • The "Noda Balloon" effectively prevented water leakage into the pharynx during "flowing water" ESS.
    • No complications were observed in the 38 patients; minimal discomfort was reported.
    • Ultrasonography provided valuable real-time visualization of anatomical structures, aiding in complication avoidance.

    Conclusions:

    • The "Noda Balloon" enables safe and efficient ESS in flowing water, offering advantages over traditional methods.
    • Ultrasonography serves as a useful adjunct for intraoperative guidance and complication detection in ESS.
    • The device also shows promise for non-surgical applications like epistaxis management.
