How often is sinus surgery performed for chronic rhinosinusitis with versus without nasal polyps?
CONCLUSION: Almost 30% of ESS were performed for CRSwNP, and these cases were, on average, more extensive, used more OR time, and more often used image guidance than surgeries for CRSsNP. The rate of surgery performed for CRSwNP varied based on geography, payer, and surgical volume, which indicted that patient selection impacted surgical management.

Complications of primary and revision functional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis
ConclusionThe rate of major complications (0.36%) associated with primary FESS is lower than earlier reports. The rate of major complications following revision FESS (0.46%) was found to be similar to primary cases. IGS, insurance status, age, and extent of surgery were found to be associated with an increased risk of major complications following FESS. Level of Evidence2C. Laryngoscope, 2013
