Abstract:
Endoscopic and radiological findings in patients with chronic sinusitis do not always correlate with symptoms. Studies suggest that postoperative endoscopic examination of the sinonasal cavity provides prognostic information regarding the potential for future episodes of sinusitis and the need for revision surgery. It is recommended that findings on nasal endoscopy be included in future outcomes studies on sinusitis.
