Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Rhinology

Context:

  • Recurrent nasal polyps significantly impact quality of life.
  • Revision endoscopic sinus surgery (RESS) is an option for refractory cases.
  • Standard surgical outcomes for recurrent polyps require further investigation.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of revision endoscopic sinus surgery.
  • To assess surgical outcomes in patients with recurrent nasal polyps.
  • To document the surgical experience with RESS.

Summary:

  • A study of 21 patients with recurrent nasal polyps undergoing bilateral RESS.
  • Procedures included ethmoidectomy and maxillary sinus access via canine fossa.
  • Follow-up of 6-12 months showed a 71.4% total effective rate (7 cured, 8 improved).
