Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a specific IgE mediated Th2 type chronic inflammation of nasal mucosa caused by allergen sensitization and stimulation with the participation of neurotransmitters. As a second-line treatment, surgery for AR can effectively relief intractable nasal congestion and nasal mucosal hypersecretion and hypersensitivity, which is recommended to be used as appropriate in clinic. However, there are still some controversial issues in AR surgery, such as the selection of surgical indications, avoidance of complications, and evaluation of efficacy. In view of this, the Chinese Rhinopathy Research Cooperation Group convened domestic young and middle-aged rhinology experts to formulate an expert consensus on surgical treatment of AR based on clinical experience and evidence-based medical evidence. This consensus systematically summarizes the relevant mechanisms, surgical methods and indication selection, as well as complication treatment and precaution in AR surgical treatment from the perspective of AR surgical treatment history, relevant anatomical and physiological and pathological principles, in order to guide and standardize clinicians to carry out AR surgical treatment, so as to further expand the treatment methods of AR and improve the corresponding therapeutic efficacy.
