摘要
One of the most common and occasionally frustrating health care problems is that of nasal polyposis. Patient symptoms are debilitating and have a tendency to recur despite the treatment modality used. Nasal endoscopy is a significant advancement for the early diagnosis and objective assessment of treatment modalities used for nasal polyposis. Surgery used in conjunction with medical therapies offers a safe, thorough means of relieving patient symptoms. It is possible to monitor these patients closely for recurrence with nasal endoscopy as well as debride early recurrences before they become symptomatic.
