BACKGROUND The role of bacterial infections in the etiology of stable chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is unclear. The advantages of nasal saline irrigation following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) are well documented. Nasal irrigation is also superior to nebulizers and sprays. Adding topical antibiotics to saline irrigation theoretically confers the additional advantages of direct delivery of anti...
