Surgery alone versus surgery plus tissue removal for nasal polyps

This trial compares two surgical approaches for chronic nasal polyps: standard endoscopic sinus surgery alone, or the same surgery combined with removal of lymphoid tissue in the nasopharynx (the upper throat area behind the nose). Researchers want to see if removing this additional tissue helps reduce inflammation and prevents polyps from coming back more effectively than surgery alone.

Nasal polyps can return even after surgery, causing ongoing symptoms and inflammation. This trial explores whether removing lymphoid tissue during the initial surgery might provide better long-term control and reduce the need for repeat procedures.
