Surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis is an effective complement to a well-designed medical regimen. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is among the most common surgeries performed for sinonasal disease refractory to maximal medical therapy. Nasal surgery techniques, such as septoplasty and inferior turbinate surgery, may assist in both relieving the symptom of nasal obstruction and providing access for sinus surgery. Although rare, open sinus techniques are occasionally required.
慢性鼻窦炎手术是精心设计的药物治疗方案的有效补充。功能性鼻内镜鼻窦手术是针对经最大程度药物治疗仍难治的鼻窦疾病所施行的最常见手术之一。鼻科手术技术，如鼻中隔成形术和下鼻甲手术，既有助于缓解鼻塞症状，又可为鼻窦手术提供入路。虽然罕见，但偶尔也需要采用开放式鼻窦手术技术。
