Sinusitis is an infection in the bony spaces around the face. Common symptoms include discolored drainage, face pain, cough, and postnasal drip.
Surgery when needed is performed at the hospital. State-of-the-art instruments are used including video endoscopes, shavers, and computer-aided imaging and navigation. Dr. Rosner has performed hundreds of successful sinus operations with excellent results and few complications.

Masses in the neck need to be evaluated. Some patients receive CT scan and needle biopsies to help with diagnosis. Branchial cleft cysts, thyroglossal duct cysts, suspicious lymph nodes and tumors are usually surgically removed.

Patients with hoarseness are frequently seen in the office. Most patients are treated with medicines and speech therapy. Many patients develop hoarseness from acid reflux. See “Reflux Instruction Sheet” (PDF Format). Patients who do not improve may require endoscopic surgery. Learn more about hoarseness at Voice Disorders.
A tracheotomy or breathing hole in the neck is sometimes created for life-threatening disorders.
