What is the recurrence rate after sinusitis surgery

The recurrence rate after sinusitis surgery has been reported to be 30% to 50%, with a relatively higher rate if other diseases are also present. Sinusitis patients are benefited after surgery, some of them are subject to recurrence, and the symptoms after recurrence may be heavier than before surgery, and the recurrence rate after surgery may be 30% to 50%. However, the condition is very tricky to treat in some patients, and the recurrence rate is relatively higher if the sinusitis is accompanied by nasal polyps, asthma, etc., as well as aspirin intolerance. Professor Stammberger of the United States showed that if sinusitis is accompanied by nasal polyps, the postoperative recurrence rate of 20% to 30%; if sinusitis is accompanied by asthma, allergies, etc., the probability of postoperative recurrence can be as high as 50%. If the sinusitis is accompanied by both nasal polyps and asthma, and is also intolerant to aspirin, the postoperative recurrence rate can be as high as 80%, and another operation may be necessary. When sinusitis occurs, it is necessary to actively consult a doctor, follow the doctor’s instructions for rational treatment, and the operation should be performed by a specialized physician.
