 Introduction. The problem of chronic polypous rhinosinusitis today remains one of the most urgent in otorhinolaryngology. According to the analysis of medical documentation, diseases accompanied by this symptomatology are one of the most common reasons for contacting an otorhinolaryngologist. Despite the many proposed treatment regimens for polyposis rhinosinusitis, the recurrence rate of the disease remains high. Treatment of patients with polyposis rhinosinusitis is one of the most difficult problems of clinical rhinology. Studies of exocrine secretions of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis made it possible to clarify individual links in the pathogenesis of this disease, to identify differential diagnostic signs and pathogenetic similarities of various forms of rhinosinusitis, and to propose a new method of treatment.The purpose of our present study was to assess the effectiveness of the correction of immunopathological conditions occurring in chronic ORS by using a herbal preparation containing in its composition Pelargonium sidophyta extract, which has antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory and antibacterial effects, in complex therapy.Materials and methods. Clinical and laboratory examination and treatment of 54 patients with a diagnosis of chronic polyposis rhinosinusitis were carried out. Among them, 38 were patients with a disease duration of more than 10 years.Results and discussion. It has been shown that the use of a phytopreparation containing in its composition an extract of pelargonium sieve in the complex treatment of patients with chronic polyposis rhinosinusitis allows achieving stable remission and reducing the number of recurrences of the polyposis process.Conclusions. Our clinical experience allows us to recommend in order to prevent recurrences of chronic polypoid rhinosinusitis to carry out surgical intervention
