Can Nasal Polyps Grow Back After Surgery ?

The pathogenesis of  Nasal Polyps involves production of secretions in the paranasal sinuses in response to viral infection and secondary bacterial infection, followed by accumulation of these secretions in the sinuses due to impaired drainage and development of persis¬tent inflammation. Patients with Nasal Polyps complain of symptoms such as purulent nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, headache, cheek pain, and toothache.

Criteria for determining the severity were defined, with two factors being assessed to determine the severity of Nasal Polyps. The first factors are a peripheral blood eosinophil percentage of more than 5% and ethmoid sinus-predominant involvement on CT scans. The second factor is the presence of complications (current asthma or a history of asthma, aspirin intolerance, and/or NSAID allergy).

Eventually, Nasal Polyps was classified into the following three categories:  mild Nasal Polyps, moderate Nasal Polyps, and severe Nasal Polyps. After surgery treatment of Nasal Polyps for six years, recent study analysis showed that the frequency of recurrent nasal polyps was 23% in those with mild Nasal Polyps, 31% in those with moderate Nasal Polyps, and 52% in those with severe Nasal Polyps, with significant differences among these four groups.
