We conclude that balloon sinuplasty is a micro invasive procedure which saves operating time, time of hospital stay of the patient and delivers excellent result with almost no complications. The success rate is spectacular matching the FESS with almost no immediate post operative and late complication. Balloon sinuplasty is an excellent procedure for medically nonresponsive CRS without polyposis. Sinus patency 6 months later was present in 90% of the cases. No immediate or late post operative complications were noted. The principle is causing microfractures by inflating the sinus opening and thus facilitating the drainage of the sinus contents. Balloon sinuplasty is a relatively new procedure which can be termed as micro minimally invasive surgery addressing the CRS without the traditional forms for surgery like incision, cutting or microdebriding. 20 cases were selected for exclusive balloon sinuplasty of maxillary sinus. It can be termed as micro minimally invasive surgery wherein anatomy as well as physiology of the nose and sinuses were preserved in cases of medically non responsive mild to moderate sinusitis. Due to various logistics it was not performed and reintroduced in the year 2015 in India. In the year 2002 balloon sinuplasty was introduced in the western world and subsequently in India. Thereafter introduction of nasal endoscopes in 1970’s led to the minimally invasive surgery FESS which preserved the physiology of the nose and sinuses. Maxillary sinusitis not cured by the medicines was addressed by the open surgical procedure namely Caldwell Luc operation. Chronic rhino sinusitis (CRS) is a common disease.
