As one of the first Los Angeles sinus surgeons to make use of the Propel stent, I have closely followed the rapid adoption of this medical device across the nation. Surgical outcomes have been generally outstanding, with most reviews reporting a very high percentage of total recovery.

One topic that doesn’t come up quite as often is the experience of having the Propel stent implanted in the sinuses, and how patients generally manage aftercare with the device. This recent article addresses this very question, and finds that beyond basic healing assistance, Propel also seems to offer tangible relief.

As Ms Serrano says about packing materials, ““You have that constant feeling like you want to blow your nose, and there’s no way you can do that.” And with the Propel stent?

“When I woke up this time around, I was able to breathe,” Serrano said. “I didn’t have any packing in my nose.”
