Abstract

In the last decades, various types of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) have emerged as treatments for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), particularly with the development of personalized, endotype-driven approaches targeting mucosal inflammation and remodeling. Despite these advancements, the literature reports heterogeneous and often divergent outcomes, leaving the actual benefit of more extensive surgical approaches in CRS control a matter of ongoing debate. This discrepancy stems from inconsistent definitions of surgical techniques, leading to variations in osseous and mucosal resections depending on patient phenotype, disease severity and surgeon preference. To address this inconsistency, the Japanese Rhinology Society introduced a classification based on procedure extent, but it lacks details on anatomical structures and mucosal treatment. Similarly, the ACCESS system measures ESS extent with postoperative CT-scans but overlooks mucosal interventions.

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 8 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 1 (Altmetric).
