PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis can be an aggressively recalcitrant disease even in the hands of experienced otolaryngologists. Clinical variants such as aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease and eosinophilic CRS are particularly challenging to manage. With a better understanding of the disease process and postoperative care, endoscopic sinus surgery and extended procedures have lead to improved success rates in the management of severe disease.
The aim of this symposium is to discuss when and what to do in challenging cases of CRSWNP, as well as how to do it.

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 1: Identify challenging cases of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in which extended sinus surgery (ESS) may be indicated

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 2: Become familiar with extended ESS techniques

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 3: Discuss the postoperative care after extended ESS.

BACKGROUND STATEMENT: The evidence shows that the selection of the patient and the appropriate surgery and medical treatment, improves success rates in CRSwNP.
