Description
The video discusses whether patients with CRSwNP should still undergo surgery. The answer is yes, with some remarks.In countries like Italy and the United States, initial surgeries have been effective in controlling the condition for about 50% of patients, potentially eliminating the need for further surgery or biologics. Proper surgical techniques are crucial for success. The Danish health system found that 80% of patients did well with just one surgery, reducing the need for additional hospital visits.
