Data from the study shows that balloon sinus dilation is as effective as functional sinus surgery, and delivers a better patient recovery experience.

[6] Of people with chronic rhinosinusitis, 10% to 54% also have allergies.
Approximately, 90% of patients have been shown to have recurrence of nasal polyps within five years after surgery, with 47% requiring revision surgery in the same time period. [36] A complete endoscopic sinus surgery followed by aspirin desensitization has been shown to reduce the need for revision surgeries. [37]
