Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a long-lasting inflammatory disease of
the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa, most often accompanied by type 2 inflammation and prone to
recurrence even after treatment. The aim of this article is to analyze the role of functional endoscopic
sinus surgery (FESS) in the treatment of CRSwNP and the approaches to preventing postoperative
recurrence, based on the international and local literature.
