These implants are typically\nremoved several weeks after surgery. We present two cases of different patients who were initially treated\nby different physicians and were found to have retained sinus spacers in their paranasal sinuses 6-10 years\nafter implantation.\nCase Presentation: Case 1: A 40-year-old male with chronic rhinosinusitis and history of balloon sinuplasty\nsix years prior presented with worsening symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis refractory to medical\nmanagement. He underwent revision functional endoscopic sinus surgery and was found to have retained\nsinus implants in the left and right frontal sinus recesses. Case 2: A 48-year-old female with long-standing\nchronic rhinosinusitis refractory to medical management presented after two prior sinus surgeries most\nrecently 10 years ago. She underwent revision functional endoscopic surgery and was found to have a\nretained sinus implant from prior surgery in the right frontal recess outflow tract embedded within scar\ntissue and reactive hyperostosis. Foreign bodies from both patients were removed without complication and\npatients were healing appropriately in the post-operative period.\nConclusions: While sinus stents and spacers can help with post-operative scarring, leaving then\nunmonitored and in place will eventually result in them becoming a nidus for scarring and infection. It is\ncritical that patients are aware of any foreign bodies we place, if they need scheduled removal or routine\nobservation, and what symptoms may indicate that they are causing a problem.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.31487\/j.scr.2020.04.10","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,29]],"date-time":"2020-04-29T18:26:05Z","timestamp":1588184765000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Prolonged Implantation of Sinus Devices and Implications for Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.31487","author":[{"given":"Charles S.","family":"Ebert Jr.","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adam J.","family":"Kimple","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adam M.","family":"Zanation","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian D.","family":"Thorp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charles S.","family":"Ebert Jr.","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Drew","family":"Cutshaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark W.","family":"Gelpi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saangyoung","family":"E.
