The postoperative outcome was assessed using active anterior rhinomanometry, \u201csniffin\u2019 stick\u201d test, and endoscopic nasal examination preoperatively and 4 weeks postoperatively. Subjective complaints were assessed with Likert scales.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Transnasal airflow increased by 40.3% 4 weeks postoperatively (p = 0.029). Endoscopic appearance of nasal polyps indicated a nonsignificant reduction of 37.1%. Subjective complaints such as impaired nasal ventilation (p = 0.014), nasal discharge (p = 0.0007), postnasal drip (p = 0.0002), and hyposmia (p = 0.048) improved significantly 4 weeks after surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>RFITT is well tolerated as a day case procedure under local anesthesia and might be a procedure for treating recurrence of NP after sinus surgery.
