Evidence-based surgery in chronic rhinosinusitis.
Considerable interest has been focused in recent years on an evidence-based approach to clinical medicine. For obvious reasons, however, it has proved difficult to examine the benefit of surgical procedures in randomized, double-blind. placebo-controlled trials. This review considers the evidence available in the literature for surgery in chronic rhinosinusitis and examines the validity of the studies in the context of evidence-based medicine.
