Recurrence after CRSwNP surgery is common when a long-term follow-up is taken into account. ERM detected in sinonasal secretions at surgery seems to be a predictive factor for recurrence and need for revision surgery. Asthma is a frequently found comorbid factor in CRSwNP, develops even at higher age despite surgical treatment for CRSwNP, and is also associated with a higher recurrence rate. Sustained medical care after surgery is mandatory.
