All patients,after surgery,were followed till 4 months for efficacy. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for qualitative variable i.e. gender and efficacy. Chi square test was applied to compare the significant difference regarding efficacy of both groups. p-value of ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Stratification was done for age and gender of the patients and duration of the disease to control the effect modifiers. Post stratification chi-square test was applied.<br>Results: In group A, the efficacy was found n 82.67% whereas in group B the efficacy was observed in 61.33%. By using chi-square test, the significant association was found between study group and efficacy having p- value = 0.004.<br>Conclusion: Efficacy was significantly higher in the FESS group as compared to conventional intranasal polypectomy in patients with sinonasal polyposis.</p>}, journal={Journal of Rawalpindi Medical College}, author={Syed Jawad Hussain Shah , Maisam Ali , Syed Ali Naqi}, year={2018}, month={Sep.} }
