Brief Answer:
Possible extensive disease
Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am
I can certainly understand your concern.
I have worked through your attached query in detail.
Multiple surgeries were required in your case as the disease was not completely eliminated.
The various possibilities could be due to surgical incompetence, difficulty in accessing diseased segments.
It's advisable to consider a high resolution CT SCAN of nose and paranasal sinuses before surgery is taken up.
It's advisable to avoid unnecessary resection of various segments.
Post your further questions if any.
Thank you.
