We see people with complaints of nasal obstruction, allergies, cosmetic concerns, problems with their sense of smell and troublesome sinusitis. Our facility is utilized extensively by patients requesting second opinions in these and related areas. For patients with tumors of the nose or sinuses, we offer multidisciplinary care in conjunction with our radiotherapists, medical oncologists and reconstructive surgeons. Contemporary care of sinus disease resistant to antibiotic treatment demands detailed investigation prior to any possible surgery. At The University of Iowa, we work closely with our colleagues in Allergy and Immunology to establish individualized treatment plans for each patient.
Every attempt is made to isolate and treat medical factors which predispose patients to sinusitis.
If surgery is required, this is performed by a surgical team with dedicated expertise, using the latest functional techniques. These allow for rapid patient recuperation and minimal time in-hospital.
