Abstract

The advancements in the field of medicine, particularly in the field of drug application, has told us that Omalizumab has a significant impact on the management of nasal polyps, especially in the context of Samter’s triad. Our letter highlights the role of omalizumab in reducing the surgical interventions for nasal polyps which has been a longstanding challenge in the population in the past.
