Brief Summary

Chronic rhinosinusitis treatment consists of medical management and surgical intervention. Improving patient education can positively impact perioperative patient experiential outcomes such as anxiety, pain and satisfaction.

The objective of this study was to determine if patient education videos at an appropriate reading level would improve perioperative anxiety in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery.
