Hi.Thanks for writing on HCM.
Majority of the patients get relief on FESS.But in a few case where the infection is hidden in sinuses FESS might not be able to clear the infection.In these case surgery enables to clear these pockets which are resistance to medications.I would advise to go ahead with surgery.All the best.Get well soon.
