Following functional endoscopic sinus surgery, 17.7 per cent (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 17) of respondents routinely prescribe antibiotics, whilst about a quarter (26.0 per cent, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 25) do not prescribe antibiotics at all. The rest of the respondents only prescribe antibiotics in specific cases.
