Can sinus problems be due to an immune deficiency?
It is unusual, but sometimes Sinus infections are caused by Immune problems.
In patients who have persistent Sinus infections, it is important to have the immune system evaluated by an Allergist/Immunologist, especially before surgery is done.
You may need to have Allergy tests done, as well as tests done to make sure that you can form Antibodies normally to common Bacteria.
Rarely, it can be due to AIDS, but don't jump to conclusions: 99.9% of people with Sinusitis don't have AIDS.

What if the surgery doesn't help for sinus surgery ?
First, be patient, recovery from surgery takes weeks (occasionally months).
If you aren't better at that point then there are many possibilities including Allergies, Immune problems, fungal infection of the Sinuses, Scarring from the original surgery, Sinusitis involving Sinuses other than those originally operated on, etc.
If you have these kinds of problems, it is critical that you see someone who is well experienced with medical treatment of patients after surgery.
