Recurrence of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps After Surgery: Risk Factors, Predictive Models, and Treatment Approaches with a Focus on Western and Asian Differences.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) frequently recurs following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), yet reported recurrence rates, risk factors, and treatment responses differ significantly across regions. This review aims to synthesize current evidence on recurrence patterns, predictive models, and treatment strategies, with a focus on comparing Asian and Western populations. Materials and Methods: A structured narrative review was conducted by searching PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library from January 2010 to June 2025. A total of 116 studies were included based on predefined criteria regarding recurrence definitions, risk factors, prediction models, and postoperative management. Results: Recurrence rates ranged from 12% to 76.6%, with wide variabili
