Implication

Clinical review identifies residual air cells and ostial stenosis as primary failure causes in sinus surgery patients, highlighting critical anatomical targets for revision procedures.

Key Points

To identify the predominant anatomical and surgical factors contributing to treatment failure in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery.
Reviewed surgical outcomes and anatomical findings in patients presenting with failure after endoscopic sinus surgery.
Incomplete clearance leading to residual air cells was identified as one of the most common surgical causes of procedural failure.
Postoperative stenosis involving either the maxillary or frontal sinus ostium represented another primary driver of surgical failure.
