Official Title: Treatment of Early Nasal Polyposis With Topical Triamcinolone

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of intranasal Triamcinolone delivered through a bio-absorbable nasal dressing verses oral steroids and a saline soaked dressing, in the treatment and prevention of early nasal polyposis.

Detailed Summary: Nasopore, a bio-absorbable nasal dressing, may offer an alternative route of sustained steroid drug delivery. The use of topical targeted intranasal steroids may prevent the routine adverse effects of oral steroids while maintaining the same therapeutic / clinical efficacy.
