Sinus surgery breakthrough? quick clinic procedure challenges traditional OR

NCT ID NCT02533206

Summary

This is a small pilot study to prepare for a larger trial. It will test if removing nasal polyps in a doctor's office (EPIC) works as well as standard surgery in an operating room (FESS). The goal is to see if the simpler clinic procedure, which is cheaper and has faster recovery, can effectively control symptoms for people with chronic sinusitis and polyps. This initial study with 20 participants will check if the larger trial is feasible to run.
