Abstract
Summary
Endoscopic SinUS surgery is a minimaly invasive surgical
procedure that opens up the PNS ostia with an endoscope. Currently,
ESS is seen as the standard treatment in clinically challenging CRS.
Prevention of recurrent infection after ESS is essential In the
management of patients with CRS. Antibiotic sinus lavage In the
postoperative setting has been described extensively in the literature;
however, drug delivery is associated with significant variability as a
result of both individual technique and drug compounding. Several
topical antibiotics have been studied for use in the sinonasal cavities
including gentamicin, tobramycin, and mupirocin. Topical middle
meatal antibiotics has recently been used to reduce infection after
surgery.
This study was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of
ceftriaxone soaked resorbable sponge placed in the middle meatus. Our
results showed no statistically significant difference between the
ceftriaxone soaked resorbable sponge patients and postoperative oral
antibiotic patients as regards subjective assessment and clinical
objective outcomes and bacteriological profile.
