“…The earliest RCT compared balloon dilation of the frontal recess vs ESS and found no significant difference in outcome. 1133 A more recent study compared Draf 2a frontal sinusotomy to a "hybrid" frontal approach combining balloon dilation of the frontal recess and traditional endoscopic techniques; the study found comparable rates of ostial patency up to 1 year postoperatively, with the hybrid technique having a slightly shorter surgical time and less mean blood loss volume vs conventional ESS. 1134 A third RCT looked at maxillary sinus balloon dilation vs ESS in patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis with or without anterior ethmoid disease.…”

Background:The body of knowledge regarding rhinosinusitis (RS) continues to expand, with rapid growth in number of publications, yet substantial variability in the quality of those presentations. In an effort to both consolidate and critically appraise this information, rhinologic experts from around the world have produced the International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Rhinosinusitis (ICAR:RS). Methods:Evidence-based reviews with recommendations (EBRRs) were developed for scores of topics, using previously reported methodology. Where existing evidence was insufficient for an EBRR, an evidence-based review (EBR) was produced. The sections were then synthesized and the entire manuscript was then reviewed by all authors for consensus. Results:The resulting ICAR:RS document addresses multiple topics in RS, including acute RS (ARS), chronic RS (CRS) with and without nasal polyps (CRSwNP and CRSsNP), recurrent acute RS (RARS), acute exacerbation of CRS (AE-CRS), and pediatric RS. Conclusion:As a critical review of the RS literature, ICAR:RS provides a thorough review of pathophysiology and evidence-based recommendations for medical and surgical treatment. It also demonstrates the significant gaps in our understanding of the pathophysiology and optimal management of RS. Too o en the foundation upon which these recommendations are based is comprised of lowerlevel evidence. It is our hope that this summary of the evidence in RS will point out where additional research efforts may be directed. C 2016 ARS-AAOA, LLC.

“…The disadvantages of the procedure are the lack of knowledge of its long-term effect, the high costs of the disposable instruments, and its technical limitations in ethmoidal area or in removal of atypical mucosa [9]. Several uncontrolled and controlled studies have suggested balloon sinuplasty to be a safe and effective method [6,7,[10][11][12][13]. However, the limitations of these studies are the heterogeneity of patients and procedures as well as short follow-up time, which makes the conclusions difficult to draw.…”

“…5 Since their introduction to the U.S. market in 2005, balloon sinus dilation (BSD) tools are increasingly used in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and have been shown to be efficacious and safe, with evidence of successful treatment outcomes comparable with "conventional" ESS. 6,7 Surgery in office settings has proven safe and effective in various surgical specialties. 8,9 In-office procedures avoid general anesthesia complications and costs (pharmacy, anesthesiologist, postanesthesia care unit).…”
