Many methods have been used to reduce bleeding during sinus surgery (FESS) in order to allow for the best surgical view and to reduce risk while in surgery. Warm irrigation fluid is believed to accelerate the clotting mechanism in the human body. The investigators would like to determine if hot saline irrigation (HSI) compared to room temperature saline irrigation (RTSI) can control bleeding during FESS. The hypothesis is that HSI is more effective than RTSI in reducing intraoperative bleeding during FESS.
