Nasal breathing & sinus disorders

Clear nasal breathing is essential for health, good sleep, and quality of life. Disorders of the nose and paranasal sinuses can cause a wide range of symptoms – such as persistent blockage, pressure, postnasal drip, snoring, or recurrent infections. I offer comprehensive diagnostics and treatment for the full spectrum of conditions affecting nasal breathing and the sinuses – from conservative therapies to highly complex surgical procedures.

Common conditions and treatments include:

  • Chronic sinusitis: Management with modern medications, endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), and – if required – complex revision procedures.
  • Nasal polyps: Treatment with biologics (targeted medications that regulate the immune system) or surgery, including advanced techniques such as Draf-III (modified Lothrop) frontal sinusotomy and sphenoidotomy.
  • Deviated septum (septal deviation): Surgical correction with septoplasty if the septum is obstructing nasal breathing.
  • Enlarged turbinates (turbinate hypertrophy): Turbinate reduction (turbinoplasty) to improve airflow.
  • Chronic runny nose (persistent rhinorrhea): Surgical treatment for bothersome, continuous nasal discharge.
  • Sinus and skull base tumors: Diagnosis and surgical management using state-of-the-art endoscopic techniques.
  • Evaluation of symptoms: e.g., persistent facial pressure, constant mucus in the throat, or frequent sinus infections.

My approach

I combine minimally invasive endoscopic surgical techniques with the latest medical therapies, tailoring each treatment plan to your individual needs – to provide the most effective and sustainable solution for your condition.
