Why would sinus surgery result in a massive sinus infection?

@jc76 That's just it, I don't know where this major infection came from. I thought the surgery would prevent these constant infections in my sinuses, so now I don't know.
I do breathe better at night for sure so that's one good thing.

@phxbarb for years I had sinus infections and migraines. Found I had a botched root canal on upper back tooth when I had a root canal done on tooth next to it. For a year my dentist told me it's no problem because that infection never leaves that tooth area. After migraines increased to constant. I found a dentist surgeon to remove that tooth. Walked out of that surgery and my vision greatly improved and migraine gone. Migraine returned but gradually decreased. Could breath through that side of nose finally, and never blocks now no matter how bad my cold is. Was a bit of a miracle to me. That years of seeing ENTs they never pay attention to tooth roots that are actually touching your sinus..... My miracle is just a thought.

Right after sinus surgery (I had two) your sinus passages and areas surgery done on are going to swell. That can keep sinuses from draining and led to an infection.
I think but just from my own experience once your sinuses recovery from surgery your sinus infections will improve. Mine did dramatically.
As I mentioned every surgery I have and had had at Mayo Jacksonville the surgeons has told me there major concern is infection.
