Effect of Intra-Operative Topical 5-Fluorouracil Post-Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Adhesions are less common in the early postoperative period in individuals who underwent FESS with or without polypectomy when 5-FU is administered topically. There is also an improvement in smell perception with a reduction of mucosal edema, crusting, polypoidal change and nasal discharge enabling better healing.
