Sinonasal polyps are a common condition affecting millions of people worldwide, and it can be difficult to assess their severity and progression objectively. The commonly used endoscopic grading scales, such as the nasal polyp scale, do not comprehensively describe the extent of polyposis observed after surgery in the paranasal sinus cavities.
That is where a new grading scale, Postoperative Polyp Scale (POPS), will be beneficial. Researched and developed by a team of otolaryngologists, it offers a more precise and standardized way to evaluate the severity of sinonasal polyps. The POPS comprehensively assesses sinonasal polyps in a postoperative setting and is expected to become the new standard in sinonasal polyp grading, improving patient outcomes and the overall quality of care in otolaryngology.
