A retrospective study compared endoscopic sinus surgery and traditional open sinus surgery in 160 adults with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps. The endoscopic group experienced faster recovery, shorter surgery duration, less blood loss, fewer complications, lower pain scores, improved inflammatory markers, immune function, sleep outcomes, and quality of life. These findings suggest that endoscopic surgery may offer improved perioperative metrics and postoperative outcomes.
