Bioabsorbable Steroid Releasing Sinus Implant
Patients will undergo bilateral endoscopic sinus surgery which will include bilateral frontal sinusotomy of Draf 2a or 2b type as previously described in the literature. At the conclusion of the procedure, if the patient still meets all inclusion criteria, one frontal sinus will be randomly assigned using the envelop method to receive a bioabsorbable steroid releasing implant and the other frontal sinus will receive a bioabsorbable nasal dressing impregnated with steroid Bioabsorbable steroid releasing sinus implant: After completion of indicated frontal sinus surgery, patients will have a bioabsorbable steroid releasing implant placed in the frontal sinus opening, which will remain in place for 14 days.
