Abstract

Office-based rhinologic procedures have seen a dramatic rise in incidence over the last decade. It is crucial to select appropriate patients and understand which pathologies may be amenable to in-office procedures. It behooves the otolaryngologist to be familiar with the array of technologic advances that are expanding the limits of office-based rhinology and to have a solid understanding of the technical nuances of using these technologies in the clinic. This article highlights the issues associated with some of the more common office-based sinus procedures, and provides practical information on set-up and reimbursement.

Keywords: Balloon catheter dilation; Cryotherapy; Office-based surgery; Sinus surgery; Steroid-eluting implant.
