Impact of synechiae after endoscopic sinus surgery on long‐term outcomes in chronic rhinosinusitis

Synechiae are one of the most common unwanted outcomes after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, there has been scant investigation into the true significance of synechiae formation after ESS. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of synechiae formation on health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes after ESS in patients with CRS.
