Summary

Recurrence rates after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for severe nasal polyposis are high, with 60% experiencing recurrence. Asthma, allergy, and prior surgery increase the risk of recurrence and revision surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Rhinology
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) outcomes vary with disease severity.
  • Severe nasal polyposis recurrence rates are not well-defined.
  • This study focuses on recurrence in severe cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine recurrence and revision surgery rates in patients with severe nasal polyposis.
  • To identify predictors of recurrence and need for revision surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 118 patients with severe polyposis (Lund-McKay score ≥16, Kennedy CT stage 3-4).
  • Data included demographics, comorbidities (asthma, allergy), surgical history, and outcomes.
  • Follow-up ranged from 12 to 168 months (median 40).

Main Results:

  • 60% of patients experienced recurrent nasal polyposis.
  • 47% were advised revision surgery; 27% underwent it.
  • Asthma, allergy, and prior surgery predicted higher recurrence and revision rates.

Conclusions:

  • Recurrence rates are significant following ESS for severe nasal polyposis.
  • Patients with asthma face a higher risk of recurrence.
  • Allergy and previous surgery are also key predictors.
