Dr. John Chiu answered

Chronic sinusitis: Sinus surgery only has a 50% success rate for chronic sinusitis. However you will need to rule out a fungal sinusitis or the presence of an impaired immune system. You should consult an allergist/immunologist who can work with your ENT to get this problem under control .
