Primary outcomePrimary: Sinus Symptom Improvement — -1.59; -1.60; 0.88; 0.88 units on a scale — p=<0.001
Summary
The objective of this study is to show that long-term symptom improvement after sinus balloon dilation is not worse than symptom improvement after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and that fewer postoperative debridements are required after balloon dilation than after FESS.
