Wecompared the effect of steroid-impregnated spacers to conventional management after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).

Six databases were searched from inception until November 2022.

Sixteen studies were found that compared the improvement of chronic sinusitis-related symptoms and postoperative outcomes between a steroid-impregnated spacer group and control group (non-steroid impregnated spacers).

The Cochrane risk of bias tool (randomized controlled studies) and Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (non-randomized controlled studies) were used to assess the quality of the works included.
