The treatment of ACPs is surgical, with a number of different surgical techniques having been described. We describe the first case series of ACPs from the UK and the endoscopic surgical technique that we have employed. A retrospective case note review of patients with ACPs managed under the care of the senior author was conducted. Demographic and clinical data for all patients were reviewed. The main outcome parameter measured was any sign of recurrence. A total of 29 consecutive patients were included for analysis from a 5-year study period, with 19 males and 10 females, and a mean age of 37.4±13.6years. Four patients within our group were referred to us with recurrent ACPs for revision surgery. All patients underwent surgery via the same endoscopic technique. The mean follow-up period was 14.7±16.9months, with an average follow-up of 22.5months for the four revision cases. There were no recurrences in any of our patients. We describe the first reported series of endoscopic sinus surgery for antrochoanal polyps in the UK, and the largest worldwide series described for endoscopic management of ACPs in adults. We have had no recurrent cases, with a mean follow-up period of 14.7months.
