BACKGROUND: @entity102 ( @entity102 ) refractory to medical and surgical therapy is a challenging entity to treat. Topical antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs have been increasingly used in managing this disorder. The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the role of @entity1177 ( @entity1177 ) in selectively irrigating paranasal sinuses with topical antibiotics with anti-inflammatory in treating recalcitrant @entity102 . A prospective clinical trial was performed at a tertiary referral center. METHODS: Thirteen @entity1 with failed maximal medical and surgical therapies for chronic @entity1244 were enrolled in the study. Endoscopic scores as well as the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test 16 (SNOT-16) scores were obtained before and 3, 8, and 16 weeks after maxillary sinus intubation with @entity1177 . All @entity1 received topical antibiotics with anti-inflammatory medication for 21 days. RESULTS: Statistically significant reductions in SNOT-16 and endoscopic scores were found before and after topical irrigations. Both scores continued to improve at the 8th and 16th weeks. CONCLUSION: Selective irrigation of maxillary sinuses using @entity1177 is a viable alternative in treating recalcitrant @entity102 .
