Balloon Sinuplasty Cost in India

The cost of balloon sinuplasty in India typically ranges from $500 to $6,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.

Balloon sinuplasty widens blocked sinus openings with a small balloon catheter, without removing tissue. The cost depends on:

• Number of sinuses treated
• Balloon system: single-use devices are a major part of the cost.
• Combined surgery: with FESS or septoplasty (hybrid procedure).
• Anaesthesia: general or local.

NICE interventional procedures guidance (IPG273) says the evidence on short-term efficacy is adequate and there are no major safety concerns, but long-term outcomes are still needed. It notes the procedure is not used in the ethmoid sinuses and should only be done by surgeons experienced in complex sinus surgery.

• Chronic sinusitis: that has not improved with medical treatment.
• Recurrent acute sinusitis: in selected cases.
• Less suitable: extensive polyps or ethmoid disease, which usually need FESS.

• Day case: usually.
• Return to activity: often within a day or two.
• Nasal care: saline rinses.
• Results: ask about expected durability, because long-term evidence is limited.
