Summary
o Chronic rhinosinusitis is one of the most common health issue affected American population.
Surgery plays an important role in the patients who failed the medical treatment. The most
difficult location to be operated endoscopically is the frontal sinus. Frontal sinus is also
found to be one of the most common sinus for residual and recurrence after the operation.
Intranasal steroid seems to be one of the most beneficent post-sinus surgery cares. The
topical therapy can be delivered by many approaches. According to the standard clinical
practice guideline and recommendations, intranasal corticosteroid spray is suggested. The
technique proved to have greater distribution than standard intranasal spray is instillation
of steroid nose drops. The head position for instillation of steroid nose drops proven to
have a greater access to olfactory cleft and frontal area is Vertex-to-floor position.
