You should not forget about the postoperative 丨 review of sinusitis and nasal polyp surgery!

One of the biggest preoperative concerns of many patients with rhinosinusitis is the problem of postoperative recurrence. According to the current international treatment level, even a top international rhinologist cannot cure 100% of his patients without recurrence. For an experienced rhinologist, if his patients go through standardized treatment – including systematic preoperative medication, perfect sinusitis and nasal polyp surgery, and standardized postoperative follow-up and medication – 80-90% of the patients can achieve a good postoperative status, which is a good result, while 10-20% of the patients may need recurrence after a few years. of patients are likely to require reoperation after a number of years. The reason why the vast majority of my patients make a good recovery is that I emphasize the importance of follow-up appointments. This shows that the whole treatment process is interlocked and equally important. Surgery is only half of the project, and the rest requires long-term, standardized postoperative follow-up. Nasal polyps patients can be discharged from the hospital in three to five days after surgery, but this does not mean that the treatment is over, but into another stage.
