Historically concurrent FESS/rhinoplasty was avoided due to concerns of increased risk of complication. Recent studies have shown that FESS/rhinoplasty can be performed simultaneously with good outcomes and no significant increase in complications. A thorough and effective approach to the patient with sinonasal obstruction requires attention to aesthetic, functional, and inflammatory issues. Medical treatment is an important adjuvant to surgery in order to optimize outcomes by improving patient symptoms long-term. Surgery for these patients should be performed in a careful, stepwise approach to address the nasal septum, inferior turbinates, paranasal sinuses, and external nasal structures.
