31237 is the CPT code for surgical right nasal cavity endoscopy with polypectomy for nasal polyps.
Nasal polyps can be treated with medications such as corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and shrink the polyps. In some cases, if medications are not effective, surgical removal of the polyps may be necessary. Endoscopic sinus surgery is a common procedure used to remove polyps and improve breathing.

Nasal polyps tend to occur in people with respiratory allergies. Hay fever (allergic rhinitis) is an irritation of the membranes of the nose by airborne particles or chemicals.
Nasal polyps are typically diagnosed through a combination of physical examination, imaging studies such as CT scans or MRIs, and nasal endoscopy. A doctor may also perform allergy tests or blood tests to identify any underlying conditions that may be contributing to the development of nasal polyps.
Nasal polyps occur once there is an infection in the nose. Some procedures to remove are simple flushing. However, sometimes more evasive scraping the polyps off while under a mild sedative.
There is no association.
Nasal polyps
One of mine did anyway.
Polyps may reappear as long as the allergic irritation continues. In addition, one study of patients who had undergone nasal polypectomy reported that 60% had a recurrence of nasal polyposis, and 47% were advised to have revision surgery.
Like polyps, papillomas can plug up the nose and disable the sense of smell. Unlike polyps, papillomas often bleed.
Some say steroids. Surgery can also help it.
