Someone was just asking me if that is possible. Is it? I have never heard
of laser surgery for sinus disease. Anyone? Trudy.

Sinus surgery via Laser is simply a gimmick, an advertising term.
If you see an ad promoting sinus surgery by Laser! -
run away.
Laser is no different than a hot knife when it comes to sinus surgery.
Practically we only use it for bleeding or some inaccessable areas. When its
used for turbinate reduction, that's when you get empty nose syndrome.
It can be used during sinus surgery but is no different than a cuatery or a
knife.

I fail for the gimmick of laser sinus
surgery.  I didn't know any better at
that time.  What would be the time frame
to get empty nose syndrome after having
sinus nasal surgery?
