Commentary on Twitter
Should you use oral steroids after sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis w/o polyps? Steroids may have no benefit (and some risk!) as found in this double-blinded placebo-controlled randomized trial conducted by @StanfordMed https://t.co/mgtF3FYiVs

This trial must make us reexamine our practice pic.twitter.com/5QQsihlGC6
