To evaluate the safety and feasibility of a Foot Controlled Robotic Endoscope Enabled Robot (FREE) in performing functional endoscopic sinus surgery to answer the two key questions:
Through previous cadaver experiments we have demonstrated and experimentally validated a new foot-controlled robotic endoscope holder prototype that allows the surgeon to directly manipulate surgical instruments with both hands at all times. The conducted ex-vivo cadaver test, corroborated the feasibility of the robotic prototype. However the next step requires further clinical trials to evaluate its use in endoscopic sinus surgery in patients that is the purpose of this study

| Quality of life | The Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS; possible score of 0-12) is the sum of 4 individual participant-assessed symptom scores for rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, nasal itching, and sneezing, each evaluated using a scale of 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, or 3=Severe. Higher scores represent a worse outcome | Within 30 days postoperative |
