Narrative synthesis shows topical corticosteroids improve mucosal recovery in CRS, highlighting efficacy and safety.

Topical corticosteroid therapy significantly enhances mucosal recovery in patients post-endoscopic sinus surgery.
Analysis of six randomized controlled trials involving 530 participants revealed reduced rates of adhesion and polyp recurrence.
Following the PRISMA framework, data extraction and quality appraisal were performed independently by reviewers to ensure reliability.
Findings emphasize the benefits of localized corticosteroids in reducing complications while suggesting the need for further studies.

Alharbi et al. (2025) studied this question.
