Revision Rates after Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: A Recurrence Analysis

Abstract

This is the first study to use survival analysis to document revision surgery rates following endoscopic sinus surgery. Revision surgery occurs at a high rate, especially in patients with asthma, Samter's triad, or frontal sinus disease. Patients should routinely be informed during clinical consultations about the likelihood of recurrence. Early intervention for frontal sinus disease may be considered.
