Phenotypic associations of medical polypectomy and revision surgery following endoscopic sinus surgery: a retrospective study of a single-centre experience in Scotland.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Some chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps patients undergo revision surgery at some point following initial functional endoscopic sinus surgery. This review aimed to identify the predictive factors for recurrence of nasal polyps requiring oral corticosteroids or revision surgery in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps following functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
