First introduced in 2013, the PLRA has become an important technique for addressing various sinonasal pathologies. This review comprehensively evaluates the advancements, applications, and outcomes associated with the PLRA. The PLRA enables superior visualization and access to regions that are traditionally difficult to reach with conventional techniques. Standardized surgical steps emphasize meticulous preservation of the NLD and IT, while technical modifications have broadened its feasibility in patients with narrow prelacrimal recesses. Applications of the PLRA span diverse pathologies, including sinonasal inverted papilloma, fungal infections, odontogenic cysts, and tumors of the lacrimal system, orbit, and skull base. Anatomical studies reveal significant variations in prelacrimal recess dimensions across populations, affecting surgical feasibility. Sex-specific differences, ethnic variations, and age-related factors are important in patient selection. Clinical outcomes from multiple investigations validate the PLRA's efficacy in maintaining sinonasal function while achieving comprehensive lesion removal. Comparative analyses with traditional approaches underscore the PLRA's advantages in reducing postoperative morbidity and recurrence rates. Integration of the PLRA with complementary surgical approaches further expands its therapeutic applications while maintaining favorable safety profiles. The PLRA is a safe and effective surgical method that offers favorable outcomes in disease management, symptom resolution, and anatomical preservation. With ongoing innovations and refinements, the PLRA is poised to remain a cornerstone of minimally invasive sinonasal surgery, enabling the precise and safe treatment of complex pathologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":33935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rhinology","volume":"32 1","pages":"17-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11969169/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143765207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The advent of biologics targeting type 2 immune pathways offers new therapeutic options for severe and/or uncontrolled CRSwNP. Initially, biologic use was guided by the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS) 2020 and the European Forum for Research and Education in Allergy and Airway Diseases (EUFOREA) guidelines, despite limited data on clinical indications, response measures, and treatment duration. Since then, numerous studies and the EPOS/EUFOREA 2023 update have refined these guidelines. The update defines clinical indications for biologics based on type 2 inflammation markers by lowering the blood eosinophil threshold from 250 to 150 cells/μL. The response to biologics is now more simply categorized into three levels based on reductions in nasal polyp size, improvements in quality of life, and enhancement of smell. Treatment evaluation is recommended at 6 months with annual follow-up. Longer administration intervals, such as every four weeks, have also proven effective in well-controlled patients. Although specific guidelines for discontinuation or switching biologics remain lacking, clinical judgment is essential in determining when treatment should be stopped or adjusted. Additionally, regulatory updates support the use of biologics for CRSwNP, and novel agents such as tezepelumab (an anti-thymic stromal lymphopoietin monoclonal antibody) continue to show promise. Finally, in Korea, biologics for CRSwNP are not covered by national health insurance, leading to extended dosing intervals due to high costs. Despite this limitation, studies have shown that adjusted dosing can maintain subjective quality of life. Recent studies by Korean authors have also explored practical considerations such as dosing intervals and comparisons to surgery. Further research is needed to optimize treatment strategies, particularly regarding cost-effectiveness and prospective studies tailored to the Korean healthcare system.</p>","PeriodicalId":33935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rhinology","volume":"32 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11969170/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143765093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
