Existing evidence regarding the role of antifungal therapy in enhancing postoperative recovery and reducing recurrence rates in non\u2010invasive fungal sinusitis remains inconclusive. This meta\u2010analysis aimed to systematically evaluate the impact of antifungal therapy on postoperative outcomes in non\u2010invasive fungal sinusitis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>An eight\u2010database systematic search was performed through March 1, 2025. Primary outcomes included relapse rate and total effective rate, with secondary outcomes consisting of adverse reaction incidence and average epithelialisation time. Subgroup analysis based on antifungal administration routes was also performed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The antifungal therapy group had significantly lower relapse rates (Odds Ratio [OR]\u2009=\u20090.27, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.18\u20130.40, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.00001) and higher total effective rates (OR\u2009=\u20095.41, 95% CI: 3.17\u20139.23, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.00001) compared to controls.
