Long-Term Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps Associated with Expanded Types of Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: Surgical criteria for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remain unresolved. This study addresses these discrepancies by comparing the clinical outcomes of expanded-functional endoscopic sinus surgeries (E-FESS) with more-limited FESS (L-FESS). (2) Methods: A database was analyzed retrospectively to compare surgical outcomes in CRSwNP patients who underwent E-FESS versus those subjected to L-FESS. Quality of life, endoscopic and radiological outcomes were compared at the baseline and two years after surgery. The clinical status of the responder was defined when a minimal clinically important difference of 12 points in SNOT-22 change was achieved. (3) Results: A total of 274 patients met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed; 111 underwent E-FESS and 163 wer
