Smith KA, et al. - From 1996 to 2016, researchers examined 29,934 individuals to assess the long-term revision rates for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and also to ascertain the factors influencing the risk of revision ESS. They noticed the long-term revision rate, 15.9%. They also found a decline in the time between revision surgeries with each additional surgery being performed. They reported an incline in the risk of requiring revision surgery with factors like female sex, older age at first surgery, nasal polyps, comorbid asthma, allergy, and a family history of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
