title: Cochrane Corner: Extracts from The Cochrane Library: Interventions for Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Polyps.
abstract: The "Cochrane Corner" is a section in the Journal that highlights systematic reviews relevant to otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, with invited commentary to aid clinical decision making. This installment features a pair of related Cochrane Reviews on surgical interventions for chronic rhinosinusitis, which identify only low-quality evidence that is insufficient for definitive conclusions. The related expert commentary, however, should help clinicians make the best treatment decisions based on the studies and outcomes identified in these Cochrane Reviews.
