Long‐term outcomes from the English national comparative audit of surgery for nasal polyposis and chronic rhinosinusitis

Abstract

We have shown sinonasal surgery to be safe and effective in reducing the symptoms associated with CRS over a 5-year period. The reduction in symptoms is large, with no significant decline in symptomatic improvement from 12 to 60 months postsurgery. However, revision surgery rates approach 20% over this time, and patients should be counseled accordingly prior to surgery.
