Abstract
Program Description:
Although our understanding of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has improved, patients prove to be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The variability in presentation contributes to the difficulty in providing effective medical and/or surgical therapy for each patient, and straightforward, all-encompassing guidelines are lacking. As more innovative treatments arise, choices available to otolaryngologists become overwhelming. The purpose of this miniseminar is to provide a stepwise approach to the overall management of CRS patients. The panelists will cover aspects of patient care including evaluation and diagnosis, tailored medical management, surgical choice and optimization, and postoperative management.
Educational Objectives:
(1) Evaluate patients presenting with CRS and provide medical/surgical management recommendations for specific categories of CRS. (2) Discuss methods for improving surgical outcomes and recommend appropriate use of surgical devices/products for CRS. (3) Provide recommendations for effective postoperative management, use of subsequent in-office procedures, and continued medical treatments for CRS.
