Dr. Schaeffer has been at the forefront of minimally invasive procedures by helping develop new technologies and techniques. He was a principal investigator for an in office balloon endoscopic sinus procedure to drain and open blocked sinuses. He teaches other sinus doctors how to perform this in office balloon sinus drainage procedure under local anesthesia and has been an invited lecturer at other institutions on this topic. He uses 3D endoscopic technology for removal of pituitary tumors and skull base tumors in pediatric and adult patients. Benign and malignant nasal sinus tumors are remove endoscopically avoiding external incisions. The skull base reconstruction requires a vascularized pedicle nasal mucosal dlap, which prevents CSF leaks. He is one of a few surgeons who have experience at CSF Leak Repair endoscopically through the nose. "Endoscopic Liposhaving" is a technique he original described to recontour necks for youthfulness and to remove selected fatty tumors from the neck. He was one of the first surgeons in the northeast to trial a new sinus implant device. This helps in better healing after sinus surgery and reducing the amount of steriod usage for complicated sinus polyp cases. These techniques are based from his experiences from the more common operations he performs for correcting a deviated nasal septum, endoscopic sinus surgery with image guidance, balloon dilation of sinuses and plastic surgery of the nose. Dr. Schaeffer has numerous original publications and a wide array of medical videos posted on his YouTube channel NoseMD. He has been invited to lecture locally, nationally and internationally.
