Polypoid change of middle turbinate is associated to an increased risk of polyp recurrence after surgery in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps

摘要

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) affects approximately 4% of general population. Patients with CRSwNP have greater burden of CRS symptoms and higher rate of relapse after either medical or surgical treatments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between polypoid change of anterior free border of middle turbinate and rate of relapse in patients with CRSwNP.
