Does this procedure actually work? Once they open them, do they stay open?

It's little controversial.

I think for the right patient, right symptoms and type of sinus disease it works. Can have lasting effects. Some providers I think over utilize it since it can be done in office and reimburses well.

Some type of sinus disease just needs the traditional surgery.
