Summary
This study will compare the incidence of post-op infection after sinus surgery using
conventional post-op oral antibiotics to the incidence of infection after sinus surgery when
a bio-resorbable antibiotic soaked nasal sponge is used in the nasal cavity in lieu of
post-op oral antibiotics. The nasal sponge is a routine nasal dressing used after sinus
surgery and will therefore be placed in all patients.
