subjective ndings, recurrent polyposis was noted in 80% of patients. The authors
report that all patients were treated with nasal saline irrigations, but do not comment
on the use of intranasal corticosteroids post-operatively.
Wreesman et al [13] reviewed their series of 82 patients who underwent the
Denker’s procedure over a 10-year period. Sixty-three patients (77%) completed
and returned surveys exploring their sinonasal symptoms prior to, and after, the
Denker’s procedure. Prior to surgery, the majority of patients complained of nasal
obstruction, reduced olfaction, headache, and facial fullness despite prior medical
and surgical therapy. After the Denker’s surgery, patients reported nearly a 50%
reduction in nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, and facial fullness, but contrary to the
prior study, olfaction was not signicantly restored. Subgroup analysis of patients

with asthma demonstrated signicant reduction of lower airway symptoms as well
after the Denker’s surgery.
In 2006, the same group conducted a prospective survey-based study on a group
of refractory CRS patients who underwent the Denker’s procedure [14]. The
included patients had undergone three prior ESS procedures, in addition to medical
therapy including topical saline irrigations, antibiotics, and topical and/or oral corticosteroids. Similar to the prior study, patients reported severe congestion, nasal
obstruction, rhinorrhea, and olfactory disturbance prior to surgery. After the

43
Denker’s surgery, a majority of patients reported signicant improvement in nasal
congestion (73%), rhinorrhea (70%), and nasal obstruction (60%). Again, there was
no signicant change in olfactory function. Over a 2-year follow-up period of this
cohort, no patient required revision surgery after the Denker’s procedure. A follow up to this study was published in 2007, reporting on the effect of radical surgery on
general quality of life and pain in CRS patients [15]. The results of this study suggest that after the Denker’s procedure, patients have less impairment in work and
other daily activities as a result of their physical health problems. Additionally,
patients tend to experience less pain after radical surgery based on results of the
McGill pain questionnaire. Table 4.2 summarizes the included studies and their
ndings.

Reported Outcomes
The introduction of the modied endoscopic Denker’s approach (MED) permits
similar access and visualization of the maxillary sinus as the standard Denker’s
approach, without the need for a sublabial incision. Within the literature, the MED
has been primarily used for management of maxillary sinus and infratemporal fossa
tumors [11]. However, the MED may prove valuable in the management of refractory maxillary sinus CRS.
Nasalization or radical ethmoidectomy has been described for patients with
extensive polyposis in order to decrease the likelihood of early recurrence.
Nasalization entails removing all ethmoid bony lamellae and mucosa, in addition to
the middle turbinate, and making a wide maxillary antrostomy and sphenoidotomy.
Surgeons have reported a lower incidence of polyp recurrence, greater symptom
improvement, and less need for revision surgery after nasalization [16]. Patients
undergoing the so-called full-reboot procedure which involves clearance of all polyps and mucosa, as well as a Draf III frontal sinusotomy, were noted to have signicantly reduced polyp recurrence rate, and symptom scores were also signicantly
reduced based on the SNOT-22 questionnaire [17]. The MED is a means by which
full clearance of disease within the maxillary sinus may be achieved. Opponents of

radical surgery express valid concern for delayed wound healing, potential for
increased scar formation, and increased complications as a result of more aggressive surgery. In patients who underwent the reboot procedure however, there was no
evidence of abnormal scarring. and biopsy of the new mucosa at 28months post-op
showed normal ciliated respiratory epithelium.
With the exception of Kerrebijn etal [12], most studies reporting on outcomes of
the Denker’s approach for CRS did not comment on complications associated with
this procedure. However, more recent studies investigating the MED for maxillary
sinus tumors more thoroughly described potential complications (Table4.3) [18,
19]. Reported complications of the MED include the standard complications of
endoscopic sinus surgery, as well as temporary numbness of the cheek or palate,
epiphora, and alar collapse. These complications tend to be self-resolving, with
epiphora being the complication to most likely need secondary intervention [11].
The MED was utilized successfully in 22 patients with maxillary sinus inverted
papilloma [18]. Across a mean follow-up of 2years, only 1 patient recurred, with
the recurrence developing along the infraorbital nerve after prior conservative resection to maintain facial sensation. Three patients in this series developed epiphora;
however, only one required dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), while the others
resolved spontaneously within 3months after surgery. Additionally, only one patient

had transient upper lip numbness that resolved within 3months of surgery. A larger,
multicenter study evaluated outcomes following the MED for management of both
benign and malignant maxillary sinus tumors [19]. Similar to the prior study, the
recurrence rate for benign tumors was 5.7%. Malignant tumors, however, had a
recurrence rate of 26.1%. The overall complication rate in this series was 13.8%.
The most common reported complications were facial numbness and epiphora.
Facial numbness was noted to be more likely to resolve spontaneously, as 78% of
patients who initially reported facial numbness ultimately recovered full sensation.
Epiphora seems to be less likely to resolve spontaneously, as four out of seven
patients who initially reported epiphora at follow-up visits ultimately required
DCR. The overall rate of epiphora requiring DCR in this tumor series (6.9%) is less
than what Kerrebijn etal [12] reported in their refractory CRS series (11%), which
may be related to advanced technology and renement of surgical techniques
throughout the modern endoscopic age.
As the indications for endoscopic surgery continue to expand and evolve,
modications of previously described open approaches may enhance access and
visualization from an endoscopic standpoint. While further research will need to
be conducted to validate the utility of these approaches, it is useful for the endoscopic surgeon to have a vast armamentarium of techniques to adequately manage the subset of patients with refractory disease. The MED is yet another method
by which surgeons may access and treat the maxillary sinus in these difcult cases.

The Reboot Procedure forSevere
Chronic Rhinosinusitis withNasal Polyps
ClausBachert , ZhangNan, PhilippeGevaert,
andThibautvan Zele
Key Points
• Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is characterized by persis-
tent mucosal disease that is multifactorial in nature and may persist despite surgical and medical therapy.
• There is evidence that some patients demonstrate long-term immunologic mem-
ory that may lead to persistent type 2 inammation and recurrent or recalcitrant
sinonasal disease.

• The reboot procedure seeks to provide broad access to the paranasal sinuses and
remove dysfunctional sinonasal mucosa and polypoid tissue to allow the regrowth
of functional mucosa.
C. Bachert etal.
Background
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is classically considered a
type 2 inammatory disease process of the paranasal sinuses characterized by nasal
polyp growth that may be refractory to medical and/or surgical management [1, 2].
Although nasal polyps are called “nasal,” they typically originate from the sinuses
and are secondarily prolapsing into the nose. Nasal polyps in the majority of cases
are derived from the ethmoidal and maxillary sinus mucosa, but also may grow out
from frontal and sphenoid sinus mucosa. They very rarely develop from nasal
mucosa including the turbinates. I personally have seen nasal polyps originating in
the nose only in specic cases such as patients with Woakes syndrome (massive
polyp grow from the nose, sinuses and middle ear mucosa, leading to the broadening of the midface in younger subjects caused by the polyp pressure [3].
The reboot procedure aims to remove the sinus mucosa from the maxillary, ethmoidal, frontal and (if necessary) sphenoidal sinuses bilaterally. The goal is to allow
for the complete re-epithelialization of the paranasal sinuses by nasal mucosa which
has a low potential of developing nasal polyps [4].
The Role ofType 2 Inflammation inCRSwNP, Diagnosis,
andOutcomes
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), affecting up to 15% of the adult population in Europe
and the USA, may be differentiated in two large groups, CRS with and without
(Latin: sine) nasal polyps (CRSw/sNP) [5]. The differentiation is based on nasal
endoscopy and CT scanning, which also allows for estimations regarding the extent
of paranasal sinus disease. However, these clinical techniques do not allow providers to differentiate the underlying pathogenesis of the patient’s inammation.
Approximately 80% of CRSwNP and 50% of CRSsNP are type 2 “eosinophilic”
inammatory reactions. Type 2 inammation has been associated with comorbid
asthma, increased disease recurrence after treatment including surgery, and more
severe symptoms, and a differentiation of inammatory types therefore is considered important [6, 7]. Furthermore, modern biologic approaches for CRSwNP primarily target type 2 cytokines and may have limited efcacy in the non-type 2
population [8–11].
Traditionally, CRSwNP is considered the more difcult to treat subgroup on a
long-term basis. Polyp recurrence is common, impacting as many as 78% of patients
according to one 12year postoperative control study of CRSwNP patients treated
surgically [12]. However, recurrence rates vary based on the inammatory type and
severity of inammation at the time of surgery, the surgical technique, the

post- operative care, and the length of the observation period. These factors are
strongly interrelated and should be considered to correctly understand the situation
of the individual patient (Fig.5.1).
In this chapter, we focus on type 2 inammatory CRSwNP with the aim of
achieving long-term control with the rst or a subsequent surgical procedure (in
those patients who already had unsuccessful former surgery) without the primary
intention to use biologic agents. This implies several questions for further decisions:
1. Is the patient suffering from type 2 disease?
2. Is the patient surgery-naïve or did she/he had former sinus surgery?
3. Has the patient received repeated oral/systemic (glucocorticoids) GCS treat-
ments over the past year?
4. Would a biologic treatment be an option to consider, and if so, as single treat-
ment or combined with surgery?
These questions are interrelated and each may dictate different approaches in patient
management. Surgical intervention and/or biopsy of polyp tissue can provide clear
signs of the presence of type 2 inammation, e.g., through the description of eosinophils in the tissue. The authors recommend routine histologic evaluation of nasal
polyp tissues obtained either in clinic or intra-operatively as it provides valuable
information that may guide future treatment. In the authors’ experience, a once
proven type 2 inammation remains type 2, whenever polyps should recur. Should
even a small polyp regrow, it will be characterized by type 2 inammation again. In
these patients, a reboot procedure may be an option to break the cycle of repetitive
inammation related to type 2 inammation and provide an opportunity for fresh
mucosalization that may not undergo this same inammatory pathway. If pathology
is unavailable, clinical signs may also indicate the presence of type 2 disease. These
signs are included in Table5.1.
Recalcitrant CRSwNP can be dened based on the nasal polyposis score (0–8
bilaterally) and on subjective symptom severity scales [5]. Severe CRSwNP is
dened as bilateral chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) with a
nasal polyp score (NPS) of ≥4 points and persistent symptoms including loss of
