Persistent chronic rhinosinusitis may reflect an underlying primary immunodeficiency rather than failed surgery or unusually difficult sinonasal disease. The feature urges ENT physicians to recognize warning patterns, begin focused testing, and collaborate with immunologists when immune dysfunction is suspected.
This Retrospective Study Describes A Technique Using Triamcinolone‑Impregnated, Plant‑Based Polysaccharide Sinus Spacers Placed In The Frontal Recess After Fess To Maintain Frontal Sinus Ostium Patency In Patients With Chronic Rhinosinusitis.
Despite limited randomized trials specific to AERD, the consistent improvements in sinonasal outcomes across studies strongly support dupilumab as an effective treatment for AERD patients post-FESS.
Do biologic therapies improve symptoms, endoscopic findings, and inflammatory markers in patients with recalcitrant allergic fungal rhinosinusitis?
The 2025 American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) guidelines update the medical and surgical management of adult rhinosinusitis, emphasizing an inflammatory understanding of chronic sinusitis and advocating for evidence-based, individualized treatment approaches.
Does long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) increase the risk of developing CRSwNP?
The butterfly graft (BFG) is a surgical technique used to treat nasal airway obstruction by reconstructing the internal nasal valve, but it can lead to external nasal contour irregularities. This study evaluates a secondary contouring procedure designed to address these irregularities while preserving nasal function and improving patient satisfaction.
What ergonomic risks do rhinologists face during common office-based procedures, and how does procedure type influence the frequency of high-risk postures?
What is the comparative efficacy of steroid irrigation, steroid-eluting sinus (SES) stents, and their combination in improving endoscopic outcomes following ESS in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis?
In a 2016 survey of American Rhinologic Society (ARS) members on practice patterns regarding office-based rhinology procedures, 63% of the respondents reported an increase in the number of office-based procedures they performed over the last five years.
