In-Office Endoscopic Sinus Surgery for Recalcitrant Chronic Rhinosinusitis
摘要
The management of CRS requires intensive medical and often surgical intervention. While endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is regarded to be a highly effective intervention, in itself is frequently not curative, and many patients experience residual or recurrent symptoms. Up to 15.9% of patients will require revision surgery for their CRS [1]. Individuals with atopy or with comorbidities such as aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD), allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS), or cystic fibrosis (CF) are at higher risk of requiring revision surgical intervention. For patients with advanced polyp burden, the risk of polyp recurrence postoperatively is 60% with 27% of patients ultimately undergoing revision ESS [2] and up to 29% of patients with CF will require revision ESS [3].
