Open Your Nose After Sinus Surgery with an ArchSinus Stent Implant in Hoover, AL
After nasal surgery, your nose will need time to heal, mainly to prevent scar tissue from accumulating during the recovery and to ensure proper mucosal healing. ExcelENT offers an innovative way to protect your sinus cavities in the weeks after surgery.
The ArchSinus stent expedites the healing of your nose by maintaining open nasal passages, serving as a spacer for temporary support of the middle turbinate, and preventing scarring within the middle meatus. This easily insertable and removable spacer aids recovery and facilitates topical medication delivery to reduce inflammation.
ExcelENT may utilize the ArchSinus stent primarily after Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) to prevent complications such as middle meatal scarring and lateralization of the middle turbinate, thus promoting faster healing during the critical post-surgical phase.

ArchSinus Stent FAQs
While generally safe, ArchSinus stent implantation may entail risks and side effects resulting in sinus problems. These can include discomfort, nasal congestion, infection, bleeding, allergic reactions, rare instances of stent migration, or the movement of a stent from its original placement within the nasal cavity.
Following post-operative care instructions mitigates these risks and ensures optimal healing. Before the procedure, we welcome discussing potential complications to address any concerns.
The timing for inserting an ArchSinus stent post-nasal surgery typically depends on the individual’s healing progress. The insertion is often within the immediate post-operative period or during a follow-up appointment shortly after surgery.
An ArchSinus stent remains in place temporarily, typically ranging from a few days to a few weeks. Similar to when the stent is inserted, the timing of removal depends on the individual’s healing progress during the sinus recovery period.
The suitability of the ArchSinus stent for individuals undergoing nasal surgery depends on the specific surgical procedure performed, the individual’s nasal anatomy, and overall health status. While the ArchSinus stent is commonly used in certain nasal surgeries to promote healing and prevent complications, its applicability may vary depending on the unique characteristics of each patient’s nasal anatomy and the nature of their surgical intervention. Factors such as the size and shape of the nasal passages, the extent of tissue manipulation during surgery, and any pre-existing nasal conditions or anatomical variations may influence the decision to use an ArchSinus stent.
Whether it’s suitable for a particular patient undergoing nasal surgery is typically made based on an evaluation of their medical history, nasal anatomy, and surgical needs. If you need clarification on whether a stent suits you, contact ExcelENT today.

During nasal surgery, the ArchSinus stent is carefully placed in the nasal passages to support the middle turbinate and prevent scarring of the middle meatus. We precisely position the stent to maintain open nasal passages and facilitate healing.
After the designated healing period, the ArchSinus stent is removed during a follow-up appointment. Using specialized instruments, the stent is gently extracted from the nasal passages, taking care to minimize discomfort or irritation. The removal process is quick and straightforward, with the patient experiencing relief once the stent is removed.
