Balloon Sinuplasty Dramatically Improves a Child’s Life

I often hear about procedures that appear to have crossed the “line of majority” and helped younger people as well as adults. This news video captures such a story, about a four-year-old whose chronic sinusitis made him one of the nation’s first child candidates for balloon sinuplasty:

This minimally invasive procedure would seem well-suited to younger patients, especially given the fact that it rarely requires a long recovery time. In fact most patients are back at their everyday lives within 24-48 hours. (So if you’re a kid, that’s just a day or two of watching movies before you can rejoin the world.) As the article said:

Nate had surgery on April 2 and he is now breathing much easier.

“It was like night and day. It was remarkable,” his mother said.
