Abstract
Abstract Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to summarize the current literature on the extensiveness of surgery in patients with diffuse type 2 chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Recent Findings There is currently no consensus on the role of the extent of sinus surgery in disease control and definitions of surgical terms in diffuse type 2 CRS. Several suggestions have been made to quantify the extent of surgery or standardize the description of surgical interventions. Summary The extent of surgery in CRS depends potentially on the severity of disease and the type of underlying inflammation. A variety of extended endoscopic procedures can be used in the management of primary diffuse bilateral type 2 chronic rhinosinusitis; however, long-term follow-up results and clear definitions of complete surgery are lacking in the current literature.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in the field of otorhinolaryngology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, throat, and head and neck disorders.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region.
Topics covered may include chronic rhinosinusitis; implantable devices; neurolaryngology; otolaryngic allergy; robotic surgery; sleep apnea; skull base surgery; thyroid surgery; and quality and outcomes.
