A Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good candidate for EverOpen+ Advance Sinus Surgery?
Patients with chronic sinusitis who continue to experience symptoms despite medication or previous sinus surgery may be candidates. A detailed ENT evaluation and endoscopic examination are required to confirm suitability.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so there is no pain during surgery. Mild discomfort, nasal congestion, or pressure may occur during the early healing period and usually improve within a few days.
How long does the procedure take?
Sinus surgery with EverOpen+ typically takes between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the severity and complexity of the sinus condition.
Why does sinus disease recur after surgery?
Sinus recurrence can happen due to ongoing inflammation, allergic triggers, infection, or natural healing processes that lead to scar tissue formation and narrowing of sinus openings. Even after successful surgery, these factors can cause symptoms to return.
How does EverOpen+ help prevent recurrence?
EverOpen+ uses a bio-absorbable, drug-eluting implant placed inside the sinus after surgery. It delivers targeted anti-inflammatory medication directly to the surgical site, keeps sinus passages open during healing, reduces scar formation, and significantly lowers the risk of recurrence
Will I still need treatment after surgery?
Yes, in many cases patients may still require saline rinses, nasal sprays, or allergy management to support long-term healing and prevent inflammation from returning.
Is sinus recurrence completely eliminated with this treatment?
While no treatment can guarantee 100% prevention, EverOpen+ significantly reduces recurrence rates and improves long-term surgical success compared to conventional healing methods.
What makes EverOpen+ Advanced Sinus Surgery different from standard sinus surgery?
Unlike standard surgery that only clears blocked sinus pathways, EverOpen+ Advanced sinus surgery actively manages healing by controlling inflammation and scarring from inside the sinus, improving long-term outcomes and reducing the need for revision surgery.
