Abstract
Sinonasal polyposis is an inflammatory condition of the nose and paranasal sinuses, sometimes associated with chronic rhinitis, aspirin intolerance and asthma. Recent improvements in endonasal surgery such as functional endoscopic sinus surgery, caused more complete removal of polyps and better control of associated rhino sinusitis. However nasal polyposis in the triad patients remains a challenge. Endoscopic surgery alone could not treat the underlying inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Postoperative medical management with follow up endoscpic control is mandatory to prevent recurrence. In this presentation, preoperative, operative and postoperative aspects in the management of sinonasal polyps by endonasal endoscopic surgery will be discussed.
