Experience of the Center for Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps

Polypous rhinosinusitis (PRS) ranks as one of the most important chronic inflammatory ENT diseases that significantly impair the quality of life. Today, it is known that chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the mucosa of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, leading to the growth of polyps. The interrelation of CRSwNP, atopy and bronchial asthma (BA), their pathogenetic mechanisms, as well as the effect on the severity of the course and the frequency of each other’s relapses, are the subject of study. Data on the role of allergy in CRSwNP are controversial, while the relationship between PRS and BA is not in doubt. Patients suffering from CRSwNP and BA and / or allergic rhinitis (AR) require dynamic monitoring and regular correction of treatment not only by an otorhinolaryngologist, but also by an allergist-immunologist. To this end, since 2016, in Vladimirsky Moscow Regional Research Clinical Institute the Moscow Regional Center for Diagnosis and Treatment of Polypous Rhinosinusitis and Allergic Rhinitis was established, which monitored and treated patients with ARS and comorbid diseases from various medical institutions of the Moscow region. By using a multidisciplinary approach during our work from 2016 to 2020, we managed to achieve a stable remission in most patients, significantly improve their quality of life and reduce the number of surgical interventions.
