We were unable to find evidence supporting a minimum millimeter measurement of mucosal thickening or sinus opacification as predictors of CRS or better post-ESS outcomes in a sinus-specific manner in patients with medically recalcitrant CRS. The extent of ESS for CRS should be determined through personalized medical decision-making that considers all patient-specific factors.
