crusting. Inform patients they will have a congested nose for 1–2weeks before the congestion starts to improve and that it can take up to 3months for the full effect of the procedure to be noticeable. Saline spray or irrigation can be helpful to help alle­viate the congestion caused by the temporary swelling of the manipulated tissue (Video 19.2).
Tips and Pearls
• Optimize the procedure room environment with distractions for the patient
including playing music or a video monitor playing non-surgical images.
• The procedure can be used with a surgical headlight or an endoscope.
• Following an acceptable amount of time (usually 10–15min) inject local anes-
thetic with a 27g needle. Consider using 1% lidocaine with 1:200,000 epineph-
rine and 10% volume of 8.4% sodium bicarbonate to minimize the cardiovascular
and anxiety-inducing effect of epinephrine and to minimize the sting from the
anesthetic. Some surgeons nd it less painful to the patient if they apply a tap-
ping motion to the ipsilateral infraorbital region during these injections.

Key Points
• The pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is complex and multifactorial.
Bacterial biolms, microbiome dysbiosis, bacterial superantigens, antimicrobial resistance, and fungal antigens have all been suggested as contributors to CRS.
• Topical antimicrobial therapy theoretically delivers therapeutic medication
directly to the affected sinuses of patients having undergone endoscopic sinus surgery with a low risk of systemic absorption.
• Despite this, evidence in support of topical antimicrobial therapy remains limited
and the International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology does not recommend topical antimicrobial treatment for the routine management of CRS.
• There may be unrealized benet in recalcitrant cases for topical antimicrobial
therapy, or even in cases where CRS is due to manifestation of systemic condi­tions such as cystic brosis, vasculitis, or primary ciliary dyskinesia.

Background

fungal antigens have all been suggested as contributors. The complexity of its pathogenesis can make treatment of recalcitrant CRS especially challenging. Topical antibiotic therapy provides direct delivery of the therapeutic agent in high concentrations to the sinonasal mucosa. Systemic absorption from topical therapy is low, allowing side effects of systemic antimicrobial therapy to be minimized. There is the potential for mucociliary injury which may be associated with local adverse effects such as nasal congestion, epistaxis, irritation, and cough [13].
Based on current available evidence, the International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology does not recommend topical antimicrobial therapy (bacterial or fungal) for routine treatment of CRS with or without polyps [4]. There is substan­tial heterogeneity between studies, and insufcient trials have investigated specic subgroups of CRS.However, there may be utility for topical antimicrobials in recal­citrant CRS after endoscopic sinus surgery and in cases related to sinonasal mani­festations of systemic conditions such as vasculitis, cystic brosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, and other disorders.
In this chapter, we review current literature covering topical antibacterial and antifungal therapy for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. We will also discuss the senior author’s experience and recommendations with topical antimicrobial therapy.

Topical Antibacterial Therapy

Microbial dysbiosis and colonization of Staphylococcus aureus have been impli­cated in pathophysiology of CRS.Topical antibiotics are used in CRS in hopes that it would eliminate pathogenic bacteria and reset the patient’s sinonasal ora. One prospective study evaluating the applicability of topical antibiotics, performed by Ezzat, etal. examined patients with biolms and found that topical application of
0.3% ooxacin TID for 12weeks reduced biolm burden via scanning electron microscopy by 80% [5]. Participants also reported a statistically signicant reduc­tion in RSI (Rhinosinusitis Symptom Inventory), nasal endoscopic, and CT-based CRSseverity scores.
Mupirocin is a carboxylic acid antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein and RNA synthesis by reversibly binding isoleucyl-transfer RNA that is commonly used to decolonize methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and to treat skin/soft tissue MRSA infections. MRSA has been found in higher ratios in patients with CRS and its presence has been linked to poorer prognosis [6, 7]. A retrospective study by Solares et al. suggested that mupirocin nasal irrigations could be of benet in MRSA-related CRS exacerbations [8]. However, only 7/42 cultures (16.7%) were treated with mupirocin irrigations alone, and most were treated with concurrent oral antibiotics. Jervis-Bardy etal. performed a prospective, double-blinded, placebo­controlled study comparing mupirocin rinses to saline rinses in S. aureus positive cultures after ESS [9]. Statistically signicant benet was noted at 1month with S. aureus negative cultures in the mupirocin rinse group; however, the benet did not persist to the 2–6month follow-up visit. A meta-analysis by Kim etal., which

included the two previously mentioned studies, studied the effect of mupirocin irri­gations in S. aureus infection in the setting of CRS [10]. They showed a relative risk of 0.13 of residual infection through a random effects model meta-analysis of the pooled data. However, the proportion of residual staphylococcal infections was 0.53 at 6 months. Therefore, the authors concluded that short-term use of mupirocin irrigations was effective for recalcitrant staphylococcal CRS.
There may be a role for topical antibiotics in patients with cystic brosis (CF). Moss etal. performed a study of CF patients that underwent instillation of tobramy­cin irrigations via a secured catheter within the maxillary sinus placed intra­operatively. They found that the regular use of postoperative tobramycin irrigations reduced the need for revision surgery in CF by up to 2years compared to those not using tobramycin irrigations [11]. Di Cicco etal. performed a double-blind con­trolled study of 27 patients with a diagnosis of CF and documented infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and/or S. aureus [12]. The patients were randomized to receive either a nasal spray formulation containing 0.2% sodium hyaluronate and 3% tobramycin or 0.2% sodium hyaluronate alone for 14days. The hyaluronate­tobramycin group had a signicant improvement in their hyposmia/anosmia and headache/facial pain with additional reductions in mucopurulent secretions at the ostiomeatal complex compared to the control group.
The utility of tobramycin irrigations has also been studied in CRS patients with­out cystic brosis with mixed conclusions. Derosiers etal., in a double-blind ran­domized controlled trial of patients with CRS refractory to medical and surgical treatment, found that the addition of tobramycin to large-particle nebulized aerosol therapy did not improve symptomatology or objective parameters of sinonasal inammation [1]. Lee etal. retrospectively studied SNOT-20 outcomes of patients with high-volume topical antibiotic irrigations in CRS patients with previous sinus surgery [13]. A variety of antibiotics were included in the study including tobramy­cin, vancomycin, levooxacin, mupirocin, gentamicin, ceftriaxone, and ceftazidime. There was no signicant improvement in SNOT-20 scores in either CF and non-CF patients, but there was statistically signicant improvement in Lund-Kennedy endo­scopic scores in the non-CF group with 72% negative culture results for the targeted pathogen. Two systematic reviews by Rudmik etal. recommended against topical antibacterial therapy, yet the heterogeneity of the studies and their relatively small sample sizes were acknowledged as limitations for this recommendation [14, 15].
There are potential systemic and local side effects for topical antibacterial irriga­tions. These can be extrapolated from the known adverse side effects seen with enteral or parenteral administration of antibiotics. Smaller studies have shown increased levels of serum gentamicin without any clinically signicant negative effect [16, 17]. Increased nasal congestion, sore throat, and cough have been reported in literature with topical administration of antibiotics [1, 3]. Workman etal. demonstrated that certain topical antibiotics can affect ciliary beat frequency [18]. Specically, azithromycin and neomycin were cilio-stimulatory, and levoox­acin and tobramycin were cilio-inhibitory. The clinical implications of these ciliary changes are uncertain. A summary of the studies examining the role of topical anti­bacterial can be found in Table20.1.

Overall, there is paucity of literature investigating the role and effect of topical antibiotics in recalcitrant CRS with mixed results in existing literature. Further stud­ies specically investigating the role of biolms in recalcitrant CRS and the role of topical antibiotic therapy on its reduction are needed.

Topical Antifungal Therapy

Fungi are ubiquitous in the nasal cavities and sinuses of both individuals with and without CRS [19, 20]. They have been hypothesized to contribute to CRS pathogen­esis due to stimulation of the host immune response [21]. Fungi have a role in the pathogenesis of two CRS phenotypes: allergic fungal sinusitis (AFS) and fungal ball/mycetoma. However, the role of fungi in the pathogenesis of other CRS sub­types is unclear. Amphotericin B binds to ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane

There was no difference between placebo and topical amphotericin B groups in QoL or endoscopy scores
and increases permeability, leading to cell death. Potential adverse effects of nasal burning, epistaxis, pruritus, and exacerbation of CRS have been reported with topi­cal antifungal use [2]. Several randomized control trials have shown that there was no signicant improvement in symptoms, radiographic ndings, endoscopic staging with topical amphotericin B compared to placebo in CRS [2224]. Additionally, three meta-analyses have demonstrated no benet with topical amphotericin B in CRS with nasal polyps [2, 25, 26]. There are no signicant studies investigating the role of topical amphotericin B in AFS so further studies are necessary [27]. A sum­mary of the studies examining the role of topical antifungals in the treatment of CRS can be found in Table20.2.
With both topical antibiotics and topical antifungal medications, it is important to note that most of these medications are prescribed through compounding phar­macies and are not covered by most insurance plans. This may inict a nancial burden on patients and should be discussed with them prior to prescription.

Senior Author’s Practice

The senior author (SS) agrees with the consensus statements that topical antimicro­bials should not be routinely used for treatment of CRS with or without polyps. However, we have seen anecdotal utility for topical antimicrobials in select cases. One such group of patients are those with recalcitrant type I chronic rhinosinusitis with chronic colonization of S. aureus that have undergone endoscopic sinus sur­gery. High-volume isotonic saline irrigations impregnated with mupirocin does seem to help in some of these patients with improvement in symptoms and endo­scopic ndings consistent with the previously referenced literature. Other antibiot­ics that have been useful include aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, and quinolones depending on cultures, treatment response, and patient allergies. Patients with sino­nasal manifestation of various autoimmune mediated diseases and subsequent atro­phic rhinosinusitis may also benet. Mupirocin irrigations seem to help with the chronic crusting in these patient populations. In patients with cystic brosis or pri­mary ciliary dyskinesia, culture-directed irrigations may help treat persistent chronic sinonasal disease.

Conclusions

Topical antimicrobial irrigations deliver medications directly to affected sinuses in patients who have had sinus surgery. Use of topical antimicrobial irrigations is not recommended for treatment of routine CRS.There may be a role for it in recalci­trant cases and in cases with manifestations from a systemic disease. Further studies that have bigger sample sizes and those that target specic patient subtypes are needed to determine presence and magnitude of benet. Providers should consider its use on a case-by-case basis with thoughtful discussion with the patient.
